Hi all .

I have an old server on centos 7 and NC 22!! ( php7.2 mariadb 10.2.44)

I have to migrate to new server U24 and latest NC 32

I have 14 users , and 10GB data .

What would it be the best quick and dirty migration path?

  1. Back up all web files and data, such as file backup /var/www/.

  2. Backup the database and use mysqldump

  3. If you want to upgrade, you need to check the baseline version from 22 to the next version (you can check the basic settings)

  4. Start nextcloud and mysql containers by using the docker container. Remember that you need to map web files and data to the container, and you need to change the config.php database address to the mysql container host domain name in advance (directly point the container version to the baseline version of the next version, and resolve the errors in basic settings, and pay attention to updating the application to the corresponding version. After multiple upgrades, you can reach version 32)

  5. So far, you can continue to use the container deployment mode, or continue to use the bare metal deployment mode (of course, the container mode is the best).

  6. In any case, make sure that the file is backed up completely.

many similar topics exist. please use search and review server_migration and multiple_versions tags.
tldr → upgrade one version a time until you reach supported state adjusting system requirements as required.

And please take care to update php to the corresponding Nextcloud versions.
The link shows you a table, which PHP versions are running with which Nextcloud releases:
