Restore v7.7.2 (Ubuntu 22.04) backup to v8.0.0 (Ububtu 24.04) system

[gerard]

Hello,

I received an availability notification for Cloudron 8 but haven't upgraded yet. I'm about to migrate my installation to a new server.

• Would you recommend upgrading first or will the restore of a v7.7.2 backup work fine on a fresh install of v8 ?

• Is it still advisable to install v8 on Ubuntu 22.04 ? (The release notes state an "initial support for 24.04" that doesn't sound like it's fully supported yet.

Thank you

It should mostly work but we are just being a bit cautious here There's a limit to how many VPSs we can test the installation on. We tested on the popular ones and seems to work, but one never knows.

The upgrade path for you would be to upgade to v8. Then later in 2-3 weeks time when v8 is considered more stable, you can migrate to a fresh ubuntu 24 with cloudron backups.

Hi @gerard

The Cloudron version and backup version must match for the restore to work. If you installed a wrong version by mistake, it's easiest to just start over with a fresh Ubuntu installation and re-install Cloudron.

The while the version of the os does not matter, the version of cloudron very much does.
