Steps

  1. Delink licenses Log in to Plane on your current server. Go to each paid workspace (such as One or Pro) and delink the licenses. This will free up the licenses for activation on your new server. Ideally, you have just one paid workspace.

  2. Backup data Create a backup of your Plane instance:

    prime-cli backup

    This command will generate a backup file at /opt/plane/backups.

  3. Set up Plane on the new server Follow the installation guide to deploy Plane on the new instance.

  4. Transfer backup files Copy the backups folder from the old server (created in step 2) to the new server. Place the backup in the /opt/plane directory.

  5. Restore data On the new server, restore your data:

    prime-cli restore

    Follow the prompts during the restore process to ensure everything is set up correctly.

  6. Reactivate license Finally, reactivate your license keys on the new instance.

This should get your Plane instance up and running on the new server.
