Move a live domain from one host to another without downtime or lost sessions, with a rehearsal, a timed DNS switch, a soak and the old host removed. Use when migrating a production app between hosting platforms.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Move the name last. Everything about the new host is proven on a rehearsal name first; the cutover is then one DNS edit with a recorded rollback value, and the old host keeps serving stale caches until they expire. Sessions survive because cookies bind to the domain, not to the machine behind it. ## Hard rules: never break these - **DNS edits are the owner's.** Give exact records (type, host, value, TTL); the owner saves them and tells you. You verify from the authoritative servers and public resolvers. - **Record the rollback value before anything changes.** The current record (a CNAME target or an address) goes into the deployment doc first. Rollback is restoring it, nothing else. - **Lower the TTL hours ahead.** A 1 minute TTL on the record being replaced is what makes the switch and the rollback fast. - **The old host stays alive until the soak ends.** Visitors with a cached answer keep reaching it; it must keep working. - **A certificate needs DNS first.** HTTP-01 issuance fails while the name does not resolve; plan the redeploy that re-registers the router after the record exists. ## Step 1: Record the starting point ```bash …

How to install
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/live-domain-cutover@sha256:116899777c7d2d89The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.5100bf0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
