# arcline-migrate

CLI tool for migrating sites from cPanel/Plesk servers to Arcline. Connects via SSH, exports files, database dumps, and DNS zone into a structured tarball ready to import.

Reduces migration friction for new customers coming from GoDaddy, Bluehost, SiteGround, and similar hosts.

## Status

Planned. Not yet started.

## Stack

- Go — single static binary, no runtime dependencies on the client side
- Requires SSH access to the source server and `mysqldump` available remotely

## Supported sources

- cPanel (primary target)
- Plesk (stretch goal)
- Generic LAMP/LEMP via SSH (fallback — manual DB credentials)

## Usage

```sh
arcline-migrate export --host example.com --user myuser --domain example.com
arcline-migrate export --host example.com --user myuser --domain example.com --out ./export
arcline-migrate verify ./arcline-export-example.com-20260303/
arcline-migrate import --bundle ./arcline-export-*.tar.gz   # future
```
