I’ve got an old standalone version of nextcloud that I want to move to an AIO instance for easy of maintaince. I read migration.md and it looks quite difficult for a database transfer (I use mysql now) and I was wondering how easy it is to migrate the data in another way (user-migration app, or maybe only copy files?)
Besides files, I have the following apps that I would like to keep the data from:
notes
bookmarks
contacts
calendar
Is it possible to export and import those things without a database dump? Or is the database dump route my best option?
I don’t see why you scare about the DB migration… basically it’s nothing more as backup/restore adopted to AiO Docker and conversion to Postgres in case you are running MySQL now… I didn’t try now but is sounds reasonable and very good documented.
everything you can access from outside of the system you can transfer… at last resort doing a hardcopy and manually entering the data in a new system
the official migration guide is the way to transfer the whole system including all database content e.g. internal and external shares, file history, comments etc. depending on the amount and complexity of your data this might be far easier than migrating every single data piece manually. at least you can do it in one go for every user and any amount of data in opposite to individual migration…
