Is there a way that I can "dump" the configuration from an existing mailman3 server, and "import" it into a new instance? I'd really like to avoid re-doing all of the configuration, etc, as there are quite a few lists and everything is set up pretty much the way I want it.
If you use the same database manager it should be no problem to get a
dump of the existing Mailman database to load into the new instance, or
if these are on the same server, just point the new instance to the
existing database. In either case, the database should be loaded and the
Django commands migrate, collectstatic, compressand compilemessages` run[1] before starting Mailman services. Mailman core
will run any necessary updates to its database upon startup.
You may also need to rebuild the HyperKitty search index with the
update_index Django command, but you may be able to use the existing
one if the search engine is the same.
