How to import existing RunDeck projects in MySQL back to new RunDeck?

Question

Had a RunDeck installation which was configured (by some one else who no longer works and made no documentation) to store all meta-data in MySQL. Both were running on different VMs.

Lost RunDeck application VM. MySQL still remains. Deployed a new RunDeck Application, and configured it to use existing MySQL. On starting it, got the following error in service.log:

FrameworkException{message='Project does not exist: project-redis_scans', resource='FrameworkProjectMgr{name=name, baseDir=/var/rundeck/projects}'}

There are 4 projects in total which needs to be imported back into RunDeck. What is the right way?

Answer 1

In the rundeck-config.properties file check if the connection url is correct

dataSource.dbCreate = update
dataSource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/rundeck?autoReconnect=true
dataSource.username=root
rundeck.security.useHMacRequestTokens=false

replace localhost with ip of the VM also check if your new VM is able to telnet to the mysql VM on port 3306
