Custom app database wiped after migration

[igaudette]

Hi,

I just migrated my Cloudron instance from one server to another following the doc, everything worked great except for my custom app which was using the MySQL add-on connect.

The database hasn't been migrated/backed up in the process and now my database is gone!

Looks like the backup is not backing up the database of the custom apps, is it possible?

Nevermind just find out the issue. The app was broken after the migration and my dev deleted and recreated it, by pushing the docker image again and that's the cause of the database lost.

I connected to the old server, backed up the app and restored again and that worked. All good.

It's fine to keep the post around, helps others in the future

FWIW, the backup strategy is the same for custom apps and apps from app store. The only difference is that one uses a customer docker image/registry and the ones from the appstore use a appstore provided docker image/docker hub.
