How to Relocate Database Clusters

To migrate a database via the command-line, follow these steps:

1. Install doctl, the DigitalOcean command-line tool.

2. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with doctl.

3. Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account.

                 doctl auth init
               

4. Finally, migrate a database with doctl databases migrate. The basic usage looks like this, but you'll want to read the usage docs for more details:

                 doctl databases migrate <database-id> [flags]

To relocate a database cluster using the DigitalOcean API, follow these steps:

1. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with the API.

2. Send a PUT request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/databases/{database_cluster_uuid}/migrate

   cURL

   To relocate a database cluster with cURL, call:

   
                   curl -X PUT \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
     -d '{"region":"lon1"}' \
     "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/databases/9cc10173-e9ea-4176-9dbc-a4cee4c4ff30/migrate"

   Go

   Go developers can use Godo, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Go. To relocate a database cluster with Godo, use the following code:

   
                   import (
       "context"
       "os"
   
       "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
   )
   
   func main() {
       token := os.Getenv("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN")
   
       client := godo.NewFromToken(token)
       ctx := context.TODO()
   
       migrateRequest := &godo.DatabaseMigrateRequest{
           Region: "lon1",
       }
   
       _, err := client.Databases.Migrate(ctx, "9cc10173-e9ea-4176-9dbc-a4cee4c4ff30", migrateRequest)
   }
