       Yesterday I was trying to migrate a NextCloud install from one machine to another, I had installed it using a docker-compose file so I thought it'd be easy to just move the directories and call it a day, but no, it kept failing and deleting my config.php file. Looking at tutorials they all assume you are going to install it without docker and just move the directories. I am probably at fault here for not looking hard enough but one of the reasons I went into self-hosting is that searching up would be faster than support tickets, seems I was wrong for this case. The official backup[1] app has 3 Bad reviews so I didn't want to risk it with that.The story has a good ending in some way, the snap[2] for #NextCloud includes an import and export utility so I am starting over with the #snap this time.[1]: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/backup[2]: https://snapcraft.io/nextcloud

       @adham Interesting. I have moved my Nextcloud docker installation a few times by just moving the directories, even between architectures (x86 and arm64, both ways). Worked every time.

       @adham I should add that I use my own docker-compose file, not the official one (which did not exist at the time I started self-hosting nextcloud).

       @pu I used the official docker-compose so that's another layer of "How does this work?" that I don't know nor can read about.

       @adham I see. If you are tempted to try the docker install again, I’ll happily share and explain my compose files.

       @pu I am not due to other things in life having higher priority, my thanks for the offer!I will test the snap export and import very soon to make sure I am not having this again.
