Migrating matrix.org and Element apps on Cloudron

[hustler]

How can I migrate my matrix.org and Element apps on Cloudron to a different host (Raspberry Pi) without losing data such as my users?

@hustler Hi! Are you saying you are actually, currently, right now, running Cloudron on a PI?!

[hustler]

@scooke Nope, currently running it on a VPS, sorry if I wasn't clear! I'm planning on migrating it to a PI if possible

Did you never seen the backup and restore features?
If not, you are in for a treat

https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#restore-cloudron

Also, RaspberryPi is not official supported as far as I remember

Exactly, so the standard Cloudron backup and restore doesn't apply as can't restore to a Pi. Hence why they are asking here what to do in case anyone knows (I don't)

Not 100% sure but seems like synapse does not support a built-in backup and restore as per https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2046 . So, you have to essentially migrate databases and files manually. You will find all the necessary files in your synapse and element app backups.
