Migrate from v1 or v2
=====================

From wallabag 1.x
-----------------

If you were using wallabag v1.x, you need to export your data before migrating to wallabag v2.x, because the application and its database changed a lot. In your old wallabag installation, you can export your data, which can be done on the Config page of your old wallabag installation.

.. note::
    If you have multiple accounts on the same instance of wallabag, each user must export from v1 and import into v2 its data.

.. note::
    If you encounter issues during the export or the import, don't hesitate to `ask for support <https://www.wallabag.org/pages/support.html>`__.

When you have retrieved the json file containing your entries, you can install wallabag v2 if needed by following `the standard procedure <http://doc.wallabag.org/en/master/user/installation.html>`__.

After creating an user account on your new wallabag v2 instance, you must head over to the `Import` section and select `Import from wallabag v1`. Select your json file and upload it.

Import via command-line interface (CLI)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have a CLI access on your web server, you can execute this command to import your wallabag v1 export:

::

    bin/console wallabag:import-v1 1 ~/Downloads/wallabag-export-1-2016-04-05.json --env=prod

Please replace values:

* ``1`` is the user identifier in database (The ID of the first user created on wallabag is 1)
* ``~/Downloads/wallabag-export-1-2016-04-05.json`` is the path of your wallabag v1 export

You'll have this in return:

::

    Start : 05-04-2016 11:36:07 ---
    403 imported
    0 already saved
    End : 05-04-2016 11:36:09 ---

From wallabag 2.x
-----------------

From the previous wallabag instance on which you were before, go to `All articles`, then export these articles as json.

    If you encounter issues during the export or the import, don't hesitate to `ask for support <https://www.wallabag.org/pages/support.html>`__.
