    Description

    I just migrated my entire Cloudron instance, and there were no problems.

    You can, and should, close this ticket after basking in your kudos. 👏 🍿 🍰

    Steps to reproduce

    1. I read the documentation for backing up and restoring Cloudron.
    2. I followed the directions.
    3. I migrated my instance from one machine to another.

    Specifically, I'm locally hosting, and was very impressed with how seamless the process was. My backups were via SSHFS mount, so when I brought up my new machine, and uploaded the backup config, it happily mounted the backup and began the restore process.

    I used the /etc/hosts trick to point to the new machine on the internal network, and when everything came up, I told my router to point to the new host as opposed to the old.

    Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

    The Absence Of Troubleshooting Already Performed

    Just wanted to say how grateful I am for the work that goes into this. Thank you.

    System Details

    I moved from a Dell 7040MFF (bare metal) to a UGREEN NAS 2800.

    1. I put Proxmox on the NAS bare metal
    2. Built a VM on the NAS NVMe boot drive (this became my new Cloudron host)
    3. I put a pair of 8TB drives in ZFS RAID1 (7TB usable), and mounted a 6TB virtual disk living on that ZFS filesystem to the VM as /home

    This should put all of my Cloudron app data on the ZFS array. I backup over SSH to another machine with a similarly sized ZFS mirror.
