Hello all,
is it possible to import data and db from another installation which is not nextcloudpi?
Is there any documentation how to do it?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/maintenance/restore.html

or
would have to be fresh install, and maybe restore db and/or rescan files.

I have got it running

  • I did a clean install with ncp.
  • Set it to maintenance mode.
  • After that I copied the data directory and modified the access rights.
  • Then I wiped the db and created a new one and imported the old exported db
  • mysql -h localhost -u ncadmin -p -e “DROP DATABASE nextcloud”
  • mysql -h localhost -u ncadmin -p -e “CREATE DATABASE nextcloud”
  • mysql -h localhost -u ncadmin -p nextcloud < /mnt/Share/Backups/Nextcloud/NextcloudBackup…
  • Set maintenance mode off.

Now it is running.
Of course all data of the original ncp installation is lost, like the ncp user.
