Solved Help restoring Cloudron backup on new server

[timconsidine]

I decided to move the VPS of my Cloudron for bigger size/cheaper costs (from Linode to Netcup).
I followed instructions in https://docs.cloudron.io/backups

• made backup on old cloudron
• did fresh cloudron install manually (wget etc) on Ubuntu 20.04
• visited http://new-ip
• chose small restore link at bottom of page
• completed details of backup location (Digital Ocean Spaces)
• got message waiting for DNS of my.<cloudron>
• updated ip address of all domains in various DNS registries (I use the *.domain approach as registries not listed in Cloudron)
• after allowing time for DNS propagation, visiting my.<cloudron> still takes me to old instance
• visiting http://new-ip gives me 'you found cloudron in the wild'

(a) How do I check the new cloudron for completion of restore of backup? (I have SSH access)

(b) did I miss a step ?

(c) is it just a case of waiting ?

[timconsidine]

Maybe it was (c) just wait
Network view after logging in on https://my.<DOMAIN> does now show the new VPS ip address

Interesting that 23 apps installed but only 8 "app back online" messages.

Will start to check apps data

Sorry if original post was false alarm

@timconsidine When I'm checking possible time-sensitive things like DNS propagation, I always use Incognito mode on Chrome (or the equivalent on other browsers). Very often a problem like you experienced is residual on the normal mode, but Incognito shows me what's current (since it doesn't use the cache).

@scooke Thank you. Good tip. I shall use this.
