Hey guys. This really isn't a fed question per se, but one that I'm trying to resolve.
I'm running some test Digital Ocean (DO) droplets. I'm interested in "downsizing" to a smaller size. DO doesn't provide an easy process to accomplish this. I'm trying to figure out how to craft a process to "completely" clone/copy a working droplet/vm to a smaller size, such that I have an "exact" copy but simply running on a smaller size VM. The test VM is a test NFS server, running centos7, using yum. I've thought of setting up the new/.smaller VM with the same users. and then:: 1) do a massive rsync of the / on the initial VM to the target VM 2) do a yum update but how do I ensure that all the services on the initial VM are installed/running on the target?? how do I ensure that all the required config files (nfs/ssh/etc...) are properly configured/operating.. Thoughts/comments... Yeah.. I'm not a sys admin/eng!!
