Moving friends to a new server

Plex Media Server
1

I have my server running on an OLD NAS with a number of my family and friends in the shares.
I was testing a fresh install as a vHost and it is running great. It is also connected to a new NAS. So basically it is running with no common setting to the old server. The new one is also upgraded to the newest version.

My problem. I want to move all of my shares to the new server so my friends will not have to reset they clients. Both servers are running on Linux. Right now I have them named “main” and “main2”. I assume it is not as easy as turning off the old one and renaming the new one to main.

Is it even possible to move the friends to they do not have to do anything when I switch servers?

Server Version#: old 1.25.2.5319 → new 1.40.2.8395
Player Version#:
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

You can actually migrate the server to your new machine. This should not only maintain all your customizations but also the libraries and sharing settings.
