I have a DokuWiki installation that has been running Adora Belle on a Windows server. That server is being decommissioned, and I would like to move it to a Ubuntu server, and upgrade to the current version (Greebo).
Any advice on how to do this?
Thank you in advance!

If you don‘t use any special plugins that require interaction with the OS (like the plugin docsearch does, for example), it should be possible to simply copy the whole wiki to your Ubuntu-system. I’ve did this several times. Make sure you set www-data as owner of the files after you copied, otherwise you will get a read-only-DokuWiki. And you should check the compability of the plugins for PHP 7, if you used PHP 5 till now on your Windows machine (what I assume).
The upgrade should be easy if you use the upgrade-plugin - but do a backup before. Simply copy the whole wiki to another place on your harddisk before you start the upgrade. If your Windows-Server is at least running PHP 5.6, you should do the upgrade on Windows and afterwards copy to Ubuntu, because I don‘t know if Adora Belle runs on PHP 7.
