How easy is it to get my data out of Cloudron?
-
Thanks @murgero for replying.
Can you tell me is that data (let's say I want to export my Nextcloud config data) in a usable format that I can then directly import into a new instance of Nextcloud? Without any munging/converting/changing? Or exporting Wekan boards into a new instance?
Does anyone have experience of exporting configurations/userdata from a Cloudron app and putting it into the same app as a fresh install?

@ei8fdb These apps are mostly unmodified versions of ones you would get from the developers of said apps. You shouldn't have any issues exporting a DB, moving the DB and files over to a new instance (outside of Cloudron) and grabbing data you need.
Speaking of Nextcloud specifically, you can move the DB and files + the config with little issue if you needed to, but I don't think you'd want to after moving to Cloudron, it's that good.
I've been using it since version 3.x and I gotta say I've never used a system like it - It rocks. I've tried Mailcow+Portainer, Mailinabox, I've even self-hosted with just straight up ubuntu + Apache (manually installing and managing), but Cloudron takes the cake. We even have a LAMP app that can host PHP, nodejs, etc apps that aren't otherwise supported.

@sam_uk I don't think so. Cloudron groups are not mapped to apps so the apps with the data don't know about the groups. I guess you could export email of specific users, but not sure if you can actually do that by group either
-
@sam_uk What does export mean in this context? You mean like some json file (what's inside the json?) ?
-
@girish So the use case would be where I'm moving a subset of users to a new server.
This subset of users is in a Cloudron group.
I export the list of user emails and use that to invite them to the new Cloudon instance.
@sam_uk I'm interested in this use case too. We want to incubate groups on our Cloudron until they've reached a size where they can afford their own.

@Sam_uk @jdaviescoates that's a good idea, indeed! Can you make a feature request out this? It's quite easy to implement.
