Migrating to a new Storage Type

You can migrate storage types without losing any data.

Steps

1. Make sure no one is using the plugin while you are changing the storage type.
2. Export the data from the current storage type using /lifestealer export.
   • A file named lifestealer_users_<date>.json will be created under the exports folder in the plugin folder.
   • You can also name this file by providing a name after the command (e.g. /lifestealer export data-from-mysql).
3. Stop the server.
4. Change the storage type in the config.yml file (see Storage Options).
5. Start the server.
6. Check if the plugin started successfully (the plugin won't start if it couldn't connect to the database).
7. Import the data using /lifestealer import <path>, where <path> is the path to the exported data file, relative to the exports folder.
   • You should be able to autocomplete the path using tab completion.
8. Done.
