### 3. File System Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Action | From | To |
|
||
|
|
|--------|------|-----|
|
||
|
|
| Renamed | `docs/src/appendix-i/` | `docs/src/appendix-15/` |
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 4. Migration Chapter Contents
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The migration chapter provides:
|
||
|
|
- **Enterprise comparison matrix** showing equivalents between cloud services and General Bots components
|
||
|
|
- **Step-by-step migration guides** for both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
|
||
|
|
- **Automation scripts** in BASIC for common migration tasks
|
||
|
|
- **Knowledge base conversion** utilities and best practices
|
||
|
|
- **Validation checklists** to ensure successful migration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 5. Key Concepts Introduced
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### The Mega-Prompt Problem
|
||
|
|
Explains how services like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini are essentially sophisticated prompt engines with limitations:
|
||
|
|
- Black box operations
|
||
|
|
- Cloud dependency
|
||
|
|
- Monolithic approach
|
||
|
|
- Subscription lock-in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### The Component Solution
|
||
|
|
Demonstrates General Bots' approach with actual installable components:
|
||
|
|
- True modularity
|
||
|
|
- Self-hosted control
|
||
|
|
- Component composability
|
||
|
|
- No vendor lock-in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 6. Migration Matrix
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Enterprise Service | General Bots Component | Package Type |

||
|
|
|-------------------|------------------------|--------------|
|
||
|
|
| OneDrive/Google Drive | MinIO | .gbdrive |
|
||
|
|
| Outlook/Gmail | Stalwart Mail | .gbmail |
|
||
|
|
| Entra ID/Google Directory | Zitadel | .gbdirectory |
|
||
|

|
|
## Build Verification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
✅ **mdBook build**: Successful, no errors
|
||
|
|
✅ **Documentation structure**: All links resolve correctly
|
||
|
|
✅ **Chapter integration**: Chapter 14 fully accessible in navigation
|
||
|
|
✅ **Appendix renumbering**: Appendix XV properly referenced
|
||
|
|
✅ **Configuration updates**: No deprecation warnings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Impact
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This integration provides enterprise users with:
|
||
|
|
1. Clear migration paths from cloud services to self-hosted alternatives
|
||
|
|
2. Practical automation scripts to speed up migration
|
||
|
|
3. Validation procedures to ensure data integrity
|
||
|
|
4. Cost comparison insights between cloud subscriptions and self-hosted solutions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Technical Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- SVG diagrams in migration chapter use CSS variables for theme compatibility
|
||
|
|
- All migration scripts are written in General Bots BASIC dialect
|
||
|
|
- Knowledge base conversion maintains semantic search capabilities
|
||
|
|
- Documentation follows existing mdBook conventions and styling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Future Considerations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Add migration metrics** - Time estimates for different organization sizes
|
||
|
|
2. **Expand automation library** - More BASIC scripts for specific scenarios
|
||
|
|
3. **Include case studies** - Real-world migration success stories
|
||
|
|
4. **Performance benchmarks** - Comparison data between cloud and self-hosted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Files Affected
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `/docs/src/SUMMARY.md`
|
||
|
|
- `/docs/src/chapter-14-migration/*.md` (8 files)
|
||
|
|
- `/docs/src/appendix-15/*.md` (4 files, renamed from appendix-i)
|
||
|
|
- `/book.toml`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Conclusion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The migration chapter successfully bridges the gap for enterprises looking to transition from cloud services to General Bots' self-hosted architecture. The documentation now provides a complete path from evaluation through implementation and validation.
