Migrator

Contao Migrator

Moving a Contao website to a new server or host is usually painful. Contao Migrator removes that pain by handling the entire process from inside the backend — no terminal access required.

What it does

• Exports the full database and file assets into a single migration package
• Imports the package on the target server with automatic path and URL rewriting
• Handles Contao-specific data (UUIDs, file references, symlinks) correctly
• Works across different PHP versions and server environments

Use cases

• Moving from a local development environment to production
• Switching hosting providers without downtime
• Cloning a live site for staging

Requirements

• Contao 4.13 or 5.x
• PHP 8.1+
• Write access to the Contao root directory on both source and target
