Moving from one Server with RunCloud

Since RC doesn't document how to change from one server to another on the same account. This documents how to move, keeping webapps and sql.

Stop MySQL
Back up the following directories (I used Duplicacy to back up from one server to the other)
1. /RunCloud
2. /var/lib/mysql
3. /home/runcloud
4. /etc/nginx-rc
Set up Runcloud on the new server by attaching as an additional server.
Delete the new server you just set up from the web interface once all the services have been installed.
Restore all above folders on the new server
Go into RC on the server you want to move, click settings >> change IP
Enter in the IP of the new server
Run the script to change the IP

VOILA! Runcloud should now recognize the new server

Don't forget to find/replace the new IP in the database too!

Notes:

Didn't note the MySQL Root Pass. Had to change via https://www.a2hosting.com/kb/developer-corner/mysql/reset-mysql-root-password
Had trouble starting MySQL and had to delete the files starting with ib, though this might have been the fact I backed up while MySQL was running.
You may be able to run the installer at https://gist.github.com/nntoan/2733f083585facaa6e51927cd56e36aa
