I have not used VMWare tools extensively, but I think you can do the below Take a full Cloudron backups before you do anything. I think the best approach is to simply use VMware snapshots. Snapshot the VM. Move/copy the snapshot to the end destination and create a new VM again from snapshot. Depending on your setup, maybe the move/copy is redundant. As I said, I don't really know much about the VMware tools. Change the IP address of the dashboard my.cloudron.example to the new IP manually. i.e via your DNS provider. Start the the new VM. You should be able to visit my.cloudron.example already and login Once you visit, go to Domains -> Sync DNS. This will resync all the DNS entries with the new IP automatically. That should be it, I guess. If something goes bad, please let us know here and you can always start up the old instance immediately and continue.

@CRBear Yes, changes to those should work but they get overwritten on updates. Maybe you can just keep a copy of your changes for now and replace them after an update.

@ccfu oooh ok. The list won't become active until it hits a real box. Ok, that makes a lot more sense now. I appreciate it.

@linuxpowerhouse Did you check the upgrading instructions at https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-20/ ?

@timconsidine [image: 1685478914017-for-free-adam-sandler.gif] Not meaning to dogpile on you @NoMan-0 , I just like the movies, the scene, the gif, and @timconsidine's post gave me reason to post it!!

@girish Perfect, that's where I went wrong, thanks.

Welp... I followed a few other posts about email not working, and found a file in the mail queue, removed it, restarted the mail... and now it works. I might delete all this... but I might leave it up as a suggestion to anyone else to do the same. At the very least, try restarting mail in the Dashboard.

Ok, thanks! Then we've to implement the whole deploy process inside the container (lamp app) and leave the host untouched. Wish you a nice weekend ️

@mdc773 said in Backups: @jdaviescoates so i am backing up from cloudron to my R2 Cloudflare Where is your Cloudron hosted? (which company and where physically) Where physically is your R2 Cloudflare?

Yes I think so can confirm it works thank you. [image: 1684921191514-9b24435c-6125-4a47-8604-b2257673828e-image-resized.png]

@aestela Atleast, the very first post was rejected because it only said "I am facing same problem" or something like that. We rejected it thinking this was spam. Pretty much all the bots now post generic messages like this. I will reply to your other post. (If you are not happy with the support, of course, just write to support@cloudron.io and we can refund as needed).

i have sent a mail

@girish I just wanted to say thank you for your help two weeks ago! I didn't get Postgres running because of too little storage on the disk, so I had no idea in this short time how to delete the things out of Postgres. For us this issue was very critical and I had to fix it very fast and so I just deleted the dump file which means the loss of the directus instance data, but that was okay in this case. Again: thank you very much and best regards!

Thank you. Good idea! I ran traceroute and discovered that example.com resolved to the IP of an old server I once used. Checking my registrar, I found that I had left example.com and www.example.com resolving to that old server's IP. Deleting those entries has resolved the issue. When I check example.com it shows the expected "You are seeing this page because the DNS record of example.com is set to this server's IP but Cloudron has no app configured for this domain." Thank you for your help!

Ok. I will doublecheck this. Give me a few hours for this. Thanks for the moment Update: Solution work fine! Thanks a lot.

@Stardenver Depends on how you use the volume. If you use the volume to store the app's data using data directory , then it's part of backup If you set it up as a mount of the app, then it's not.
