      I'm looking for advice to rationalize my nextcloud usage :

      • let's say I have cloud.domain1.com and cloud.domain2.com each with a bunch of users
      • let's say I want to reunite them in one nextcloud instance (domain does not matter much)
        each under it's own user stuff correctly moved from another nextcloud.

      How do I do this without loosing anything from the users ?

      Bonus question - without knowing which nextcloud they may have installed ?

      Moving files would be already nice, if I can reinstall the nextcloud builtin app they use manually..

      is there a better way to do this ?

        Not sure if Nextcloud has some built-in feature for this, but I haven't seen that so far. If this is only about the files itself, then you should be able to create local users and move the files then into their respective folders from one server to the other. Then run a rescan to get the database in-sync. The rescan happens with https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/nextcloud/#rescan-files

          @nebulon Oh thanks, going to test this for one user without any specific nextcloud app installed and see how it goes, should be enough along with reconfiguring his nextcloud local client to the new URL 🙂
