Move Account
|
||||||
|
============

! **this is an experimental feature**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** How to move an account between servers **
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Go to "Settings" -> "[Export personal data](uexport)"
|
||||||
|
Click on "Export account" to save your account data.
|
||||||
|
This file contains your details, your contacts, groups, and personal settings.
|
||||||
|
It contains also your secret keys to authenticate yourself to your contacts:
|
||||||
|
**save this file in a secure place**!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Go to your new server, and open *http://newserver.com/uimport* (there is not a
|
||||||
|
direct link to this page at the moment).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Load your saved account file and click "Import".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Friendica will recreate your account on new server, with your contacts and groups.
|
||||||
|
A message is sent to Friendica contacts, to inform them about your move: if your
|
||||||
|
contacts are runnning on an updated server, automatically your details on their
|
||||||
|
side will be updated.
|
||||||
|
Contacts on Statusnet/Identi.ca or Diaspora will be archived, as we can't inform
|
||||||
|
them about your move.
|
||||||
|
You should ask them to remove your contact from their lists and readd you, and you
|
||||||
|
should do the same with their contact.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After the move, the account on the old server will not work reliably anymore, and
|
||||||
|
should be not used.
