Restore to a new server keeps "old" apps on the previous server
-
I wanted to move my Cloudron install from a server (IP1) to a more powerful machine (IP2).
So I restored my last backup on IP2 : my.domain.name was properly installed on IP2 (DNS record included) by all my apps remained installed on IP1 (DNS records have not been changed).How to have all my apps installed on IP2? Can I change the A DNS record of 1 app, and have it moved to another IP ?
(Side note: during my last attempt, I thought all my apps were on IP2, and reformatted my IP1 server → total outage ! I suggest it should be clearer when doing a restore on a new server, that apps are not DNS migrated)

If you want to move the Cloudron wholesale from one server to another, please follow the guide at https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#move-cloudron-to-another-server it will also move the apps.
Note that DNS propagation may take its time from your perspective if your PC has some cached entries, so it might appear that the IPs were not updated properly yet.
