Question about migration

Hello everyone,

I’ve a question. For this moment I’ve tested Nextcloud on my Synology at home. Now 'I’ve like to migrate my nextcloud on a new server on my own cloud in a new real VM. I’ve seen this doc : Migrating to a different server — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation

I’ve two questions:

Is it possible to migrate to a different server and change my URL without too many problem on my window and android client?
Is it possible to keep my installation on my synology to make it as a replication of my new environement ?

thank you

best regards

Seb

Hi,

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Hi, I've cha…nged the address of my NC server and set up a redirect to the new address. I was unable to change the URL in the app and had to re-add the account instead. ### Describe the solution you'd like Since changing the URL from the app might be considered a security issue (#3877), I'd like to propose the app changing the URL automatically, when receiving "301 Moved Permanently" response from the server. ### Describe alternatives you've considered Changing the URL manually via settings, but that is not available either. ### Additional context It seems that the Desktop client has this functionality and has updated the URL on its own after my changes.

Regarding the replication the following article might go in that direction.

I hope this helps
