Cloning directadmin in another server

[Bombi]

Hello, in a future scenario I will have to install 10 servers with Direct Admin (Each one with its license) I would like to know if it is possible that I can configure a server with its Administrators, Custom Build configurations and modifications to the Skins and then copy everything this configuration to the other 9 servers. Thank you!

Hello,

In general it is possible to clone DA servers. Each directadmin server will need to get a valid IP and a new license key.

Thanks for the quick response, my intention is for each server to have its own ips, nameservers, users and licenses

The only thing I need to be exact are the Administrators, packages and configurations.

Is there any documentation of this process?

Thank you

I'm not quite sure, what you want from the Administrators, packages and configurations. I have experience in building OS templates with pre-installed Directadmin, as well as cloning servers. A new valid IP with hostname, a new licence (changed passwords go without saying) are the minimal required.

Documentations of which process? OS cloning? I guess you will need to refer to documentation of your virtualization software provider (if you are about to build VMs). If you're going to use bare-metal servers, then you will need to refer documentation from OS developers and/or data center, where you are renting racks from.

If you need a documentation of DirectAdmin, then here you are: https://docs.directadmin.com/ But it does not describe cloning of OS.

Thanks for the answer, I'm going to read the documentation to directly clone the OS and then change the IP, Hostname and license settings.
