Migration guides

Move without starting over

Move sites and services from macOS Server, MAMP or XAMPP onto a maintained Homebrew stack. If SaaS bills are the problem, use the self-hosting guide and calculator to see which subscriptions are worth replacing.

Each guide names what FrontierStack can import, what still needs manual work, and where a one-click migration would be misleading. The app can move web files, virtual hosts, PHP settings, databases and WordPress; every step is optional. It can also monitor the new stack and ask for approval before an AI-assisted repair changes it.

Choose the system you are leaving; the guide starts with the parts you can carry over.
