Complete basic installation of the system and Getting Started procedure. Give the Target system the same hostname as the Source system, this will enable you to install the same license as on the source system.
When the Getting Started procedure has completed, please go to Admin → Console Access and set a root password. If there’s a firewall between the system, please make sure that rsync (TCP port 873) is permitted from the target to the source.

Great
What hostname/ip are we migrating from?
172.16.5.251
What’s the password listed from the migration script on the source system?
zimphero
Do you want to replace the ssl certificates with the one from the source?
No
The connection from here to 172.16.5.251 uses rsync, tcp/873. Please make sure
it’s allowed and that the migration script is running on 172.16.5.251.
Testing connection…
Looks good. Beginning migration in 10s, please hit control-c now if you
want to abort.
How to disable auto-complete?
To set the autocomplete off hint on all password fields in LiquidFiles, please add a Javascript override (in Admin → Branding) like this:
$(function() {
$('[type=password]').attr('autocomplete', 'off');
$('#user_email').attr('autocomplete', 'off');
});
This will turn off password autocomplete hint for all password fields and fields with the id=’user_email’.
