Cloudron migration to new server: amazing!!!

[vjvanjungg]

@imc67 could you pls elaborate on this? I’ve experienced a similar issue.

My 2 cloudrons on NetCup both had issues with specifically Microsoft (outlook, live, hotmail). But support solved that by contacting MS.

What are the steps you take to resolve this?

[imc67]

@vjvanjungg I sent an email with the email headers of the bounced emails and requested if they could contact MS to delist.

@imc67 Doing a bunch of sendmail service testing at the mo so will post more reviews in this feedback as I go to share the wealth and all that: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2851/seeking-recommendations-based-on-experience-for-sendmail-relays

Just wanted to add to this thread too. I've moved servers about 5 times now. It happens so quickly and smoothly that I get to the end of the process and wonder if I'm really finished. So well done!

@marcusquinn I'm using Netcup
And did a very easy migrate from Linode to Netcup as @imc67 reports.

I'm fine with NetCup. Only comments I would make is :

• their deployment on order is not instantaneous : they do a check for new customers and even after, it can take a little while. Quick enough, but not 100% automated. So don't order a server at 3am and expect it to be live at 3:15am.
• not immediately clear from site/emails, but their deployed servers are all debian. No choice on signup. BUT you can use console to wipe it with another OS of your choice.
• they're German and the forum is mostly German, minimal English content, although if you post a question, some kind soul will usually reply in English. Just not mainstream content. I use a translation utility )already) so I highlight and get translations, but. bit long-winded

Generally I'm happy to recommend Netcup

I've got a little test server with them too, just to try them out, but I won't be using them again. The Hetzner experience is orders of magnitude better for hardly any more money. The thing I most disliked about Netcup is that they advertise hourly pricing but then you have to pay 6 months upfront. The whole thing is a bit clunky compared to the great UX on Hetzner.

[timconsidine]

@jdaviescoates I have one small Hetzner instance, but I doubt use it much, so not familiar.

Initially I didn't like the 6 months billing on small servers (nb only on small ones), but then I realised it saved me a lot of bank reconciliation work and invoice tracking. So now I am ok with it.

I'm preparing for the move. Cloudron version has to be the same as mentioned in the guide.
What about the Ubuntu?
Currently, I'm on 18.04. Can I move directly to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?

yes, or even directly to 22.04.

@fbartels installing Cloudron on a clean 22.04 failed for me today. Setup script crashed because of unbound unable to start. Image is from Contabo. I switched to 20.04 because I do not see the benefit of using 22.04 before it is tested and officially supported.

ah indeed, I missed that 22.04 is not yet supported. I rephrase my sentence into "you can directly upgrade to the latest supported OS".
