Migrating Ethereum wallet between servers

This article covers only the migration of the Ethereum wallet file between servers.

If you have the wallet backup which you wish to use in lieu of a server's current wallet, use this article to upload the wallet backup to the desired server.

Before moving your Ethereum wallet file, please be certain that you've very recently backed up your wallet files which contain any funds, and have retained a separate, secure, offline copy of them.

Other Wallets

To migrate your other wallets, follow the article 'Migrating wallets between servers'.

Restoring your Ethereum wallet

Log into the destination server's terminal, then paste and run the command below exactly as written to move its old Ethereum wallet out of the way:

mv /etc/lamassu/mnemonics/mnemonic.txt /etc/lamassu/mnemonics/old-mnemonic.txt

Then, in the same terminal, run the command below to create a new Ethereum wallet file and open a text editor:

nano /etc/lamassu/mnemonics/mnemonic.txt

Paste the 24 words you have copied earlier during the backup. Then save by pressing Ctrl+X, type Y, and then hit Enter.

From the admin's Funding panel, you may confirm the amount in the wallet.

We'd only recommend deleting the old server on Digital Ocean after you have confirmed that all funds are recognised in the new server, and only then after a few days or a week to make sure it's all working.
