migrating bitbucket server to another server

[Rich Byard]

Hi we have bitbucket server installed on a lightsail aws instance, we want to install bitbucket server on another server but with the same data.

Can you help me with the steps i need to take as we have purchased a starter license on the old server.

While the above is absolutely correct (and we’ve done this a number of times), if there’s a small number of repositories/users/groups, and/or, if you want to change some core configuration - day the database backend from mssql to Postgres - then setting up a clean server, building out your users setup, then git provides a very simple process to clone the full repo with all history from your current server, add the new server as a new origin and then push to the new server.
