Cloning an instance

Connecting to the server

First you must access the commandline on the system in question. This is done using a certificate and the Putty program.

1. Get a certificate private key from an existing admin user
2. Install Putty on your machine (alternative WinSCP)
3. Set up the profile in Putty
   1. Set hostaname = {server IP or domain name}
   2. Set Category > Connection > Data > Auto login username = ec2-user
   3. Set Category > Connection > SSH > Auth > Credentials > Private key file authentication = {private file location}

Test you can connect to the server.

Note: Connection will fail if you try connecting from an IP that is not whitelisted by the TS server team

Cloning the system

Copy an instance

1. Run: ts clone-app
2. Define source name
3. Define name of new instance

Validate after 2 mins that the instance is running

Option: Change configurations

Some server settings are more appropriate for demo/test systems.

Consider setting

1. Backend > Modules > Configuration
   • smtpTestMode = false
   • serviceAutostart = false
