The Server Importer is a Lumix Solutions addition to Pterodactyl. It copies files from another host straight into your Lumi-Panel server over SFTP - no archives to upload, no manual file shuffling.

​
Fields

  • Host - the source server’s SFTP hostname or IP.
  • Port - SFTP port (defaults to 22).
  • Username - SFTP user on the source server.
  • Password - SFTP password for that user.
  • Source path - directory on the source to copy from. Defaults to /.
  • Destination path - directory on your Lumi-Panel server to copy into. Defaults to /.
  • Protocol - SFTP (the only supported protocol).
Files are copied recursively from the source path into the destination path.

​
Running an import

  1. Stop your server from the Console so files aren’t being written during the copy.
  2. Fill in the fields above.
  3. Click Start Import.
Progress streams live. When it finishes, start the server back up.
Migrating a busy server? Run the importer once to seed files, then a second short import during a maintenance window to catch any last-minute changes.
Only files are imported. Subusers, schedules, allocations, and databases live in Lumi-Panel and need to be set up here - see Users, Schedules, Network, and Databases.
