## Important note
If you already have LNbits installed and running, we **HIGHLY** recommend you migrate to postgres!
You can use the script and instructions on [this guide](https://github.com/talvasconcelos/lnbits-sqlite-to-postgres) to migrate your SQLite database to Postgres.
If you already have LNbits installed and running, on an SQLite database, we **HIGHLY** recommend you migrate to postgres!
There's a script included that can do the migration easy. You should have Postgres already installed and there should be a password for the user, check the guide above.
```sh
# STOP LNbits
# on the LNBits folder, locate and edit 'conv.py' with the relevant credentials
python3 conv.py
# add the database connection string to .env 'nano .env' LNBITS_DATABASE_URL=
# postgres://<user>:<password>@<host>/<database> - alter line bellow with your user, password and db name
LNBITS_DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost/lnbits"
# save and exit
```
Hopefully, everything works and get migrated... Launch LNbits again and check if everything is working properly.
