Migrating from the Old Zonemaster GUI

The old Zonemaster GUI was similar to the current quick install option, which means there is no complex migration path required.

Migration Overview

Since the old GUI functioned similarly to a static deployment, you can simply replace it with the new GUI by following the standard installation process. Choose the installation method that best fits your needs:

1. Quick install - For simple deployments with basic configuration
2. Full customization - For deployments requiring theming or advanced customization

Migrating Your Configuration

If you had customized configuration in the old GUI, you can migrate these settings to the new GUI's static/config.json file. All previous configuration options may not be available in the new GUI.

Refer to CONFIG.md#staticconfigjson for information on how to configure the new GUI's runtime settings, including message banners.

Installation Steps

1. Choose your installation method from INSTALL.md
2. Follow the installation instructions for your chosen method
3. Configure your web server (Apache or Nginx) using the provided example configurations
4. If you had custom configuration, update the static/config.json file accordingly
5. Test your new installation to ensure it works as expected
