SourceΒΆ

The source section describes the live system to migrate.

The definition of a source section when using YAML is:

---
source:
  # the source definition goes here

If you are using JSON:

{
        "source": {
            ...the source definition goes here.
        }
}

The valid keys to use within a source are:

  • host (mandatory): a string providing the URL of the live system.
  • ssh-port (optional): an integer providing the ssh port of the running system (default: 22).
  • user (mandatory): a string providing the user login to authenticate to the live system.
  • password (optional): a string providing the user password to authenticate to the live system.
  • exclude (optional): a list of non-native files or directories to exclude during the deep scan of the live system.
  • overlay (optional): a boolean to include overlay (extra files) for the migration (default: true)
