But apparently it's for Umbraco cloud, so it's not for me. I tried this tutorial, but I had issues with production as I pasted the .sdf file in the local App_Data and the connection string in web.config was connected to production.
So basically what I need is a tutorial that explains how to migrate a regular Umbraco 7 site to Umbraco 8.
How to retrieve the Database from Azure.
Where to put it locally in order to connect to it locally without affect production.
How to edit the local web,.config to connect the local database, and not production.
How to upgrade Umbraco 7.15.6 website to Umbraco 8?
Hi, any good tutorial on how to upgrade Umbraco 7.15.6 website to Umbraco 8?
I tried this one:
https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-cloud/umbraco-cloud-tutorials/upgrades/migrate-an-umbraco-cloud-project-from-7-to-8/introduction/
But apparently it's for Umbraco cloud, so it's not for me. I tried this tutorial, but I had issues with production as I pasted the .sdf file in the local App_Data and the connection string in web.config was connected to production.

Thanks.
I would check out this page
https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/setup/upgrading/migrating-to-v8#:~:text=Due%20to%20this%2C%20it%20will,been%20implemented%20in%20Umbraco%208.1.
This explains what you need to do regarding umbraco step by step.
For the other question a simple search to stackoverflow points to this :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5475306/how-do-i-copy-sql-azure-database-to-my-local-development-server#:~:text=In%20SQL%20Server%202016%20Management,your%20database%20to%20a%20local%20.
If possible, you can work on a copy/backup directly on azure, even easier in my opinion.
How big is the site?
It maybe quicker just to install version 8, and manually input the data again.
If it takes you 1 Day, then that might be quicker than spending 5 days trying to find an upgrade solution.
It's an online magazine, few thousands posts. You mean clean installation, then to import locally all the data?
How do I do it?
I need a simple tutorial of how to migrate 7.15.7 to Umbraco 8. That's it
In that case, have you had a read of the official documentation?
https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Getting-Started/Setup/Upgrading/version-specific
Yes, but I need something more specific.
How do I get the database from Azure? I downloaded a .bacpac file size ~60mb - is it the database?
How do I connect to this database?
Any other steps when I install locally?
Hi
About Azure:
Go to your database and on the top bar click on "export".
after that use a Storage Account, where the .bacpac should be downloaded.
After that use the creds. from your database. If you're not sure, you can find it in your web.config from your wwwroot Umbraco installation.
For downloading the .bacpac to your local machine use "Azure Storage Explorer" https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/features/storage-explorer/
go to your tenant/Storage Account and download the file.
Hi, thanks. I did it. Now how can I connect to it locally? Not sure what I need to edit in the web.config
This is how it's in my web.config:
What should I put instead?
Also, where should I put the .bacpac - inside App_Data? or just in any folder and just give the path?
Thanks.
