| Moving from Cloudlog to Wavelog | I finally made the hop from Cloudlog to Wavelog and I don't regret it so far. | 2024-06-30T22:56:16+0200 |

Set up the database
I'm going to use MySQL as the database type and I create a new user and database for it:
CREATE DATABASE wavelog;
CREATE USER 'wavelog'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '${PASSWORD}';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wavelog.* TO 'wavelog'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Get the ADIF files from Cloudlog
Choose ADIF Import / Export from the user menu and also select the ADIF Export tab.
Choose the callsign and download the ADIF file. We will import these later in our Wavelog installation.
Install Wavelog
Clone the git repository to your webroot and adjust file permissions as stated in the wiki.
For future upgrades I modify the update script and save it as another file just to not interrupt the update procedure.

So my file permissions look like this:

Visit the configured website and go through the installation process by
following the instructions. You may have to edit /etc/php/php.ini (or similar)
to allow more memory to be used by the PHP processes and so on...
Station setup
Now create the stations and locations that you want to use (usually the same as in the Cloudlog instance) and start importing the previously downloaded ADIF files.
As I have already uploaded my older logs to LOTW I checked Mark imported QSOs as uploaded to LoTW when I imported my logs.
Third party tools
I do like WavelogGate already but haven't had the chance to test it out in the field yet.
I can successfully see CloudlogOffline connecting to my webserver, but the test button never turns green -- I also can't upload logs from within the app so I guess the compatibility is broken there.
That will make me move back to my favourite iOS app for logging: RUMlog2Go for iPhone.
To upload the logs just export as adif, self-email and import. It's not the "syncing" way but it is still acceptable in my opinion.
