Migrate from Stash to Bitbucket server

Question

We are currently using self hosted Stash (3.4.0). Planning to migrate it to the latest version of Bitbucket (5.5). We also would like to migrate the database from SQL server 2008 to Oracle along with this move. What is the best way to migrate Stash to Bitbucket with all existing data, history, comments and the users?

Any additional reply on this?  We are going to attempt the stash upgrade again with the intent of upgrading it to the bitbucket cloud.

Same issue though, not alot of tutorial on how to do this from a an ubuntu target

That's interesting, but we have already purchased it and received licensing (must have been just before the cutoff).

We have used the bitbucket/stash backup client to copy the stash instance.  It is now a *.tar file.  the backup file has been placed on the new server, but I'm looking for the steps on how to restore the *.tar file and then upgrade it to bitbucket.

The restoration process assumes an empty bitbucket installation.  Should I just install a blank stash instance, then restore the backup into the empty instance?

@Joshua White  Just that you know:  Bitbucket server is not available for purchase anymore.  It has been discontinued.  See https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/download
