Summary of the issue you are facing:
Sorry but i am a beginner novice of linux.
I have used NC on unbuntu on a pc for about 3 yrs by using snap but drive space running out.
Bought new rasp pi 5 with a dual nvme slot hat and 1 western digital nvme 1TB ssd
After several days and attempts of trying to re-install NC using snap onto unbuntu and also tried docker and portainer on the raspi my 60 yr old brain failed trying to get https and other things to work , i nearly gave up but i then found NextCloudPi
I successfully used balenaetcher to burn the NextcloudPi_RaspberryPi5_v1.55.3 image onto the nvme and change boot order.
It took 2 days to work out how to get the lets encrypt and 2FA working and now NCP working great however whilst trying the ncp snapshot to back up the ncp configuration error message not btrfs file system.
At what point during NCP install did i miss the option to set btrfs ?
How do i “migrate” my working setup to btrfs ?
Is there another way to back up the ncp config in case of new drive restore ?
Do i really need btrfs
An idea as i have a dual slot nvme hat and to purchase a 2nd 1Tb nvme , move ncp from nvme 1 (ext3) to nvme 2 (btrfs) , turn off pi , remove 1st nvme and move 2nd nvme to slot 1 and reboot
But how do i do the “move ncp from nvme 1 to nvme 2” ?
the actual data files do not have to move as i can transfer those from one of nc client devices

- Use the
preformatted text
formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output. - If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
- Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
