HostShift CLI automates Linux server migrations with read-only safety

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Developer Oguzhan Karacabay built HostShift, an open-source Go CLI for migrating Ubuntu and Debian servers. The tool covers Docker, databases, web servers, and system services while keeping the source server read-only. It includes deterministic migration planning, audit logs, and test matrices across multiple Linux distributions.

Meridian48 take
A practical, no-AI approach to a common sysadmin headache — worth watching if it gains community traction beyond its creator's own server-hopping habit.
