The process is described at https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#clone-app

This is not possible, no. The structure of data of both the apps are quite different. Also, when you backup Cloudron apps, the code is not part of the backup. LAMP app is sort of a special case here since the code is part of the "data" and part of backup .

You should be able to migrate it manually though. Import database and copy over the needed files.

There's two DSN: CIVICRM_UF_DSN and right below the above screenshot CIVICRM_DSN . Both have to be updated after a clone.

@girish Okay, that is super easy, thank you very much!

I will mark this as solved for now but I suspect this will come back some day.

@marcusquinn Yeah, I have another idea once differential backups become available..

Have the template App be backed up locally, while others remotely, keep things fast.

Let's see which we get first.

Just to follow up, here's a sample of normal backups followed by a Cloudron upgrade, which itself triggered another backup run, and the corresponding relevant network and disk graphs:

All in all, it's definitely fast-er but not insanely performant. CPU utilization vs load hints that it may in fact be down to inefficient utilization of cores to some extent, but there is definitely a fair bit more bottleneck coming from the network still.

Nothing earth-shattering either way, and gains were more mild than I would have guessed, but all in all, not a bad outcome.

I think git link / image registry link is the most flexible.

Essentially it could run the code that Cloudron CLI runs anyway.
