Not so pro tips for mail-in-a-box users

Disclaimer: I am in no way a professional. I'm just a student who has had the (un)fortunate experience of maintaining a mailinabox server. I thought i would share my experiences along the way so that i may save some time for those looking for it.
I've used DigitalOcean here , but similar steps can be followed with your cloud provider of choice.

I want to move Mail-in-a-box to another Digital Ocean account (The Shortcut, but not recommended)

• If you have any important data, be sure to always keep a backup
• Create a snapshot of your droplet (you can power off the droplet after the snapshot)
• Change the owner of your snapshot, see this guide
• Resume the transferred snapshot
• Change the DNS records to point to the new droplet
• Log into the web admin panel at /admin . If there are no errors, everything is good. If there are errors (red text), re-install Mail-in-a-box

How do i re-install Mail-in-a-box ? (Unofficial, however, this should work in most cases)

• Delete the mailinabox directory commonly located at ~/mailinabox
• Rename the /etc/nginx/conf.d/local.conf to /etc/nginx/conf.d/local.conf.deleted if you would want a copy - Rename the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf to /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf.deleted if you want to keep a copy - Restart nginx systemctl reload nginx . - Run the installer from the official website and once its done, everything should continue to work as normal.
