Hello,

We are migrating a server from an old Ubuntu to a new one due to security risks. We'd like to know if we can somehow transfer the configuration from one server to a new server. More info can be included upon response. Let me know if this is the right place to post before I send more info. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum @uctech.

If by "The configuration" you mean a Node-red installation, yes you can almost certainly migrate it to a new server.

Just how difficult the process is will depend on whether you have many non-core nodes or a dashboard, critical running processes and of course any connections to external services.

Is this the right place to post?  
Well if you want to do it yourself and just need free advice, yes.  
If you prefer to pay for professional assistance, there is a Jobs category of the forum.

Assuming it is a conventional install, then install node red using the pi/Ubuntu script then copy the .node-red folder, except for the node\_modules folder, across to the new machine. Then cd into that folder and run  
`npm install`  
Which will install any additional nodes to have used.
