Hi! I installed Gluu 4.2 including some components I do no longer need (planned project did not work as expected) but I am running production data with it. No I got some RAM issues (My VM has 12 GB and services getting killed by OOM-Killer after some hours/days) thus I want to remove or at least disable some of the components I installed. What is the best practise? In detail I want to remove RADIUS. I would also be willing to migrate the data to a fresh installation if this is possible. I think this would be the cleanest solution but I could not find a way to achieve a full data migration.
Gluu 4.2.1 Debian 10.0

Standard systemctl disable command. >> I would also be willing to migrate the data to a fresh installation if this is possible. I think this would be the cleanest solution but I could not find a way to achieve a full data migration. Always best!

> Always best! So... IS there a path? How to achieve this? I could not find one in the docs for 4.2.1

- Get 'setup.properties' from existing installation. It's encrypted, you can decrypt it by command which showed during installation. - Run only rpm/deb in new VM. Don't run setup.py yet. - After completing rpm/deb installation. Get 'setup.properties' from existing system and put it inside new VM's `/install/community-edition` location. - Run `setup.py` - You should have new Gluu Server ready with same hostname and same keystore password and inum. - After completion of this installation, migrate ldap data from existing system to new system ( standard ldap commands ).

In a pinch, you could remove the apache proxy directives in `/etc/apache2`, disable the services, and then `rm -rf` the folders in `/opt/gluu/jetty`... that should makes sure they are dead :-)
