    So I have successfully migrated my Cloudron instance to a more powerful VPS.
    And I am reminded how slick the Cloudron server migration process is.
    In a world of complex tech, which doesn't always work as intended, Cloudron server migration is a thing of joy and beauty.
    4th time I've gone through the process over the years.
    Thank you for making it effortless !

    I use ClouDNS as my DNS service, so I have to use wildcard domains on Cloudron, but I scripted the DNS updates this time for an even easier flow.

    --> I want to suggest that server migration is a powerful aspect of Cloudron which is not profiled adequately.

    It should have more prominence on cloudron website, and also in docs.cloudron.io. Good docs are part of good marketing.
    Restoring a server is buried at the bottom of backups section, which might be logical, but it really deserves its own section, under Installation or under Knowledge Base.

      Glad to hear it worked out well. Since you mentioned clouDNS, maybe worth looking into that feature request at some point soon, they seem to have a solid api in place.

        @nebulon I like them, but no idea how much work is involved for you.

        As well as the UI, I use a script I found GitHub (would need to track it down) with an api key from ClouDNS, so no pressure from me to support it.
        Just a question of whether it helps others.
