Hello everyone,
How do I migrate my working OpenEMR v5.0.2(3) on Windows10 to AWS OpenEMR Cloud Express? I have created an account on AWS and have a running OpenEMR Cloud Express instance which I have accessed in a browser. Now how to get my data from my PC into the Cloud?
I read openemr-devops/packages/express at master · openemr/openemr-devops · GitHub, searched for an answer on the forum posts, and tried AWS EC2 dashboard, but could not progress.
Any pointer would be appreciated. Thanks
hi @neville, you could use scp to move the files up to the cloud and then bring them into the docker with docker cp
Hi @stephenwaite , when I run
pscp -P 22 -i C:\pathtokey\key.ppk C:\pathtolocalbackup\emr_backup.tar ubuntu@ec2-publicdns.compute.amazonaws.com:/home/ubuntu/root/backups/emr_backup.tar
I get this error
pscp: unable to open /home/ubuntu/root/backups/emr_backup.tar: no such file or directory
The directory and path exist and I can cd into it with PuTTy. Please advise. Thanks
hi @neville, try
pscp -P 22 -i C:\pathtokey\key.ppk C:\pathtolocalbackup\emr_backup.tar ubuntu@ec2-publicdns.compute.amazonaws.com:.
Hi @stephenwaite, when I try that I consistently (3 tries) get
emr_backup.tar | 3621152 kB | 4133.7 kB/s | ETA: 00:10:42 | 57%
error while writing: failure
C:\pathtolocalbackup\emr_backup.tar: Network error occurred
The file is visible by ls but filesize is 0. The same error comes even if I try a smaller 69.4kb file.
Hello,
If you aren’t able to push the file to the instance – and something sounds off about that; check with df to make sure you’ve got free space – you can always pull the file from the instance; place the backup .tar somewhere the instance can see it, like an FTP under your control, perhaps.
Thank you @jesdynf , it was a space issue. I modified the volume size from AWS console, and used pscp to get the archive onto the instance.
Hi,
When I try to move emr_backup.tar into \root\backups I get an error
ubuntu@ip-someip:~$ mv emr_backup.tar /root/backups
mv: failed to access '/root/backups': Permission denied
Any advice would help. Thanks again
Try adding sudo before the command or else log in as root user(sudo -i) to perform the file move.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,

Hello again, I’m stuck at /root/restore.sh . My emr_backup.tar file is 8GB, so I increased the Volume size to 24GB. I’m unable to resolve recovery: invalid starting point .tar.gz . Here’s the full printout. All advice is appreciated. Thanks

Rebooting will release that swap space, and this is necessary because you may incur significant long-term I/O expenses if you're operating in AWS LightSail or EC2 and you leave swap activated. Please do not forget to reboot this instance and delete /mnt/2GB.swap as soon as practical.
Can you tell me more about where you got emr_backup.tar from?
My suspicion is that the restore script you’re trying to run is not compatible with the backup you’ve made. OpenEMR’s backup and restore is a process you run from inside OpenEMR. OpenEMR Cloud Express and Standard have an additional backup layer and you’re crossing the wires on the two, I think.
So is there a way to take my local data into Cloud Express without using emrbackup.tar?
