Can I install an old WP instance
-
I am asked by a customer to move a WP Instance to one of my Cloudrons. WP is still an older version, and I am wondering if it is possible to somehow choose the WP version on Cloudron.
(It is ofc clear to keep WP updated for a variaty of reasons, however I'd like to know.)
-
Older package versions can be installed by manually adjusting the browser URL bar when you open the install dialog of that app in your Cloudron dashboard. It shows a package version in the URL and one can adjust that accordingly with the appropriate tag https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/wordpress-managed-app/-/tags
Given that packages often require newer platform versions this does probably not work much into the past.
The recommended way for wordpress here would be to use the lamp app and just install wordpress manually there.

The WordPress Migration Docs write about installing the Dev Version of WordPress in cloudron. Is there no way to migrate into a fresh managed WordPress cloudron instance?
(Ask me about B2B marketing automation & low code business solutions, if thats interesting for you.)

@dsp76 the migration is no different from any other app. For WP, I didn't find any plugins that specifically migrate only the database and the plugins alone. The managed WP app does not allow changing the WP code itself. This is the reason the guides focus on WordPress Developer - most of the migration plugins just tarball the entire WP source.
Generally, https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/migrate-wordpress/#migration-without-a-plugin should work though (as long as you have no changes to WP code).
