migrating from custom hostingmigration guideantivirusemailhosting

Sample hosting description files are provided as a part of the Plesk
Migrator distribution and can be found in the following directories:

  • (Linux)
    /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/panel-migrator/backend/conf/samples/custom/
  • (Windows)
    %plesk_dir%adminplibmodulespanel-migratorbackendconfsamplescustom

Additionally, the Plesk Migrator distribution includes the
schema.json file listing all available hosting description
parameters. It can be found in the following directories:

  • (Linux)
    /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/panel-migrator/backend/lib/python/parallels/plesk/hosting_description/
  • (Windows)
    %plesk_dir%adminplibmodulespanel-migratorbackendlibpythonparallelspleskhosting_description
