# How to redeploy This guide provides the necessary steps for migrating an existing WordPress instance to a new charm instance. ## Migrate database Follow the instructions in [the MySQL charm migration guide](https://canonical.com/data/mysql/docs/8.0/how-to/back-up-and-restore/migrate-a-cluster/#migrate-a-cluster) to migrate the content of the WordPress MySQL database. ## Migrate media files ### Media files stored in Kubernetes storage If your media files are stored in Kubernetes storage (`wp_plugin_openstack-objectstorage_config` is not configured), use the following steps to migrate your files: 1. Use the `juju scp` command to transfer files from the `/var/www/html/wp-content/uploads` directory of the old `wordpress` container to a local directory. 2. Use the `juju scp` command again to copy these files from the local directory to the `/var/www/html/wp-content/uploads` directory in the new WordPress charm instance’s `wordpress` container. ### Media files stored in object storage If your media files are stored in object storage and the `wp_plugin_openstack-objectstorage_config` is not configured, you have two options: 1. Provide the new WordPress charm instance with the same credentials and connection information for the object storage. This allows the new instance to automatically access the existing files. 2. Use tools like [rclone](https://rclone.org) to copy files from the old storage bucket to a new bucket for the new deployment.
