And the official doc doesn't work on a Cloudron instance. Here is how I made it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Prerequisite:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install cloudron cli <code>npm install -g cloudron</code></li>
<li>Login to your cloudron <code>cloudron login my.domain.com</code></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Export data from Confluence Cloud and import data to Confluence Server:</p>
<ol>
<li>In Confluence Cloud, go to Settings - Backup Manager - Create backup for server. Download the zip file.</li>
<li>Install Confluence app on Cloudron</li>
<li>Resize the app memory limit to 6GB (Strongly advise to avoid import failure)</li>
<li>Use web terminal to get database parameter: <code>cat /app/data/credentials.txt</code></li>
<li>Open your Confluence, setup database connection, import the backup zip file.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">After import succeed, you will need to login to Confluence, but the old password doesn't work. Follow these steps to reset admin password:</p>
<ol>
<li>Enable debug mode of your app <code>cloudron debug --app confluence.domain.com</code></li>
<li>Get a shell to your app's docker <code>cloudron exec --app confluence.domain.com</code></li>
<li>Edit file <code>vim /home/cloudron/confluence/bin/setenv.sh</code></li>
<li>Add <code>CATALINA_OPTS="-Datlassian.recovery.password=your_random_password"</code> to the end of file, after the last <code>CATALINA_OPTS</code> line. Save.</li>
<li>Start confluence by run <code>/home/cloudron/start.sh</code></li>
<li>Login your confluence with username <code>recovery_admin</code> and the password in step 4.</li>
<li>The Confluence site seems empty and ask you to create a space. Don't worry, create a new space.</li>
<li>Open Settings - User Management, list all users. Find your old admin user, reset password and add it to all admin groups.</li>
<li>Logout, and try login with your admin user. It works!</li>
<li>Delete the the <code>CATALINA_OPTS</code> added in <code>setenv.sh</code></li>
<li>Exit from app docker. Disable debug mode by running <code>cloudron debug --disable --app configure.domain.com</code>. Wait the app restart.</li>
<li>Your Confluence is ready!</li>
</ol>
