+# Migrate from Drone to Woodpecker
+
+## Migrate from Drone >= v1.0.0
+
+We currently do not provide a way to do so.
+If you are interested or have a custom script to do so, please get in contact with us.
+
+## Migrate from Drone <= v0.8
+
+- Make sure you are already running Drone v0.8
+- Upgrade to Woodpecker v0.14.4, migration will be done during startup
+- If you are using Sqlite3, rename `drone.sqlite` to `woodpecker.sqlite` and
+  rename or adjust the mount/folder of the volume from `/var/lib/drone/`
+  to `/var/lib/woodpecker/`
+- Upgrade to Woodpecker v1.0.0, the migration will be performed during
+  startup
