Clone Amazon Lightsail Instance
Budget: €8 – €30 EUR
I need my current Amazon Lightsail server cloned to a fresh instance—every file, database, and configuration setting must come across so the new machine mirrors the old one perfectly. You can use snapshots, manual migration, or any proven method you prefer; the only requirement is that the resulting instance boots without errors and all sites and services run exactly as they do today.
Deliverables
• Complete transfer of all files and folders
• Full database migration (same versions and credentials)
• Identical system and application configuration files
• A brief hand-over note outlining the steps taken and how to switch traffic to the new instance
Acceptance criteria
1. I can SSH into the new server with the same key pair and see identical directory structures.
2. All hosted sites/applications load correctly via their domain or IP.
3. Database connections succeed and data is intact.
4. No missing cron jobs, environment variables, or custom config tweaks.
Experience with AWS Lightsail, snapshots, SSH, MySQL/PostgreSQL dumps, and web-server configuration (Apache or Nginx) will make this a quick, clean job.
