To answer the original question

we dont currently have a migration guide
we do not support upgrading directly from old mycroft to ovos, a fresh install is necessary
keeping a existing picroft alive is not officially supported, but was answered here https://github.com/orgs/OpenVoiceOS/discussions/217
running old Mycroft skills under OVOS is answered here https://github.com/orgs/OpenVoiceOS/discussions/225
if you want to find official replacements for old skills see a list here OpenVoiceOS/ovos-core#382
if you want to modernize your skills, docs are at openvoiceos.github.io/ovos-technical-manual, and https://github.com/mikejgray/ovos-skill-projen does most of the work for you

we do not have a migration guide, but we have a repository for creating ovos rpi images

https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/raspbian-ovos

see the manual_user_install.sh script if you want to install ovos on an existing raspbian image

do you mean i can install ovos on top of my raspbain that has mycroft on it and all my mycroft scripts will still automatically work?

if not, then how do i copy my existing mycroft intents over to ovos?

The manual_user_install.sh script is meant for a fresh install of raspbian. What mycroft scripts are you referring to? If it is mycroft-start or the like, they are not supported anymore by OVOS, and if you use this script, you have the option of installing and starting systemd files for each process.

If you have custom skills installed, or original Mycroft skills, they can be converted and one contributor even made a script to help the process.

i wrote many custom skills for mycroft. so are you saying OVOS can execute them and I cant just copy them over????

Theoretically your skill should work, but many of the properties and functions will be depreciated in version 0.1.0 of ovos-core. There are new best practices and skills should be pip installable. The above script will help you convert your skill to ovos best practices.

oye. my skills are not in the public domain and are written on the mycroft so how do they be pip installable since they will reside on the OVOS device? This is turning into a headache. I just want my skills to work out of the box :(

You should be able to clone them to ~/.local/share/mycroft/skills/<skill_name> and ovos should load it or attempt to

That script above will do most of the process for you, and they still can be private.

builderjer Jul 9, 2023

They DO NOT need to be in the public domain for pip to install it. You can install local packages also, if that is your concern

it states the command here: https://github.com/mikejgray/ovos-skill-projen

Retrofitting Mycroft skills (WIP, please open issues if it doesn't work for your use case)
If you have an existing Mycroft skill that you'd like to convert to an OVOS skill, you can do so by running the following command in your skill directory:

projen new ovosskill --from "@mikejgray/ovos-skill-projen@latest" --retrofit

so what is the right command please?

mikejgray Mar 1, 2024

The right command is the one you just copied from the README. The one you said that you ran above is not the same.

Is your venv activated?

Run it in the skill directory itself
