Migration between Node OS's

[Lipora]

I am currently running my node on an old MacMini and recently acquired a little NUC. I’d like to migrate from the Docker Instance I’m running on to try out the new Windows Installer. I don’t see any instructions for how to migrate a node. Can I use the same identity info from the MAC on the PC etc?

Any thoughts would be helpful.

1. Stop and remove the container:

docker stop -t 300 storagenode 
docker rm storagenode 

2. Copy your data and identity to the Windows PC
3. Run the installer and specify a new path to the identity and to the storage folder accordingly the wizard.
4. Do (or modify) port forwarding on your router to the Windows PC
