Hi,  
I’m posting here as I can’t find any resource elsewhere. Please forgive me if it’s out of place.  
I’m trying to migrate a CDash installation on version 2.6 to a new server and a new instance of CDash 3.2.1. I managed to install CDash on the new server via docker, I have a full sql dump of the old CDash installation database done with pgdump. I’m now kinda stuck as to how to preceed with importing the dump in the new installation… Any help would be very welcomed.  
All the best  
Cheers

Sorry for the slow reply.

After you import the SQL dump into your new database, it _might_ be as simple as running `php artisan migrate` in your CDash container. That being said, jumping from 2.6 to 3.2 is a pretty big step, so I wouldn’t be surprised if something goes wrong.

Nonetheless, I recommend that you give it a try, and let us know if you need further assistance.
