My current Linode server using Cloudron is based on Ubuntu 20.04. They do not offer 24.04 yet, but Digital Ocean does. I created a droplet at DO with Cloudron/Ubuntu 24.04 and am having trouble getting it running, much less restore my backups.
My goal is to ultimately use the same domain (lets just call it example.com), but the recommended way of using the etc/hosts file on Windows to fake the DNS and doing a dry run is not working for me, for example:
123.123.12.12 my.example.com
But I can only access it directly from the IP in the browser.
I tried setting it up with an alternative domain instead. Let's call it exampledomain.com. I created an A record pointing my to the IP. The Cloudron setup just sits there waiting for the DNS propagation when a DNS check reveals it is propagated.
I noticed there is a restore option, so I click it. I downloaded the last backup config, which was saved to a volume named CloudronVolume on the Linode server. I uploaded the backup tar files to the new volume on the DO server. I try to restore the config and it tells me:
"Access denied. Create /mnt/CloudronVolume/snapshot and run "chown yellowtent:yellowtent /mnt/CloudronVolume" on the server"
My volume on DO does not have the same name. Does it need to? I gave the entire volume permission, so I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
I did have to change the name of the directory for the volume because Cloudron is looking for that specific configuration.
