💖 CONVERTCONFIG(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to convertConfig — yes that's the manual page name and yes it's giving User Contributed Perl Documentation, we love a scrappy community-contributed era 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

convertConfig — a whole entire tool to migrate your Lemonldap::NG configuration database over to a new backend 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so the whole vibe in one block, look:

convertConfig [--help] [--current /old/lemonldap-ng.ini]
[--new /new/lemonldap-ng.ini] [--latest] [--overwrite] [--force]

and here's what each lil scenario looks like, no cap:

  • Convert from default File backend to the currently configured backend — literally just:
convertConfig
  • Convert only the latest config (configuration history is lost) — heads up, the history is GONE gone 💀:
convertConfig --latest
  • Specify different INI config files containing old or new backends — pick your own paths, main character energy:
convertConfig --current config --new config
  • Continue even if an error occurs — it's brave, it's fearless, it does not stop:
convertConfig --force

and for the record the full flag roster is --help, --current, --new, --latest, --overwrite, --force ⭐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

convertConfig is a command line tool that converts all the configurations stored in your database, and then initializes a brand new Lemonldap::NG configuration based on your current configuration. like, glow-up but for your backend 🧚

it's a command line tool. it does the thing. it eats. periodt.
