Suggestions (upgrade or new)?

[CrankyCoder]

I have a fairly old install of next cloud installed on bare metal.
The nextcloud files directory is an nfs mount to my nas.
No Redis, but does have mysql backend. 4 Users on the system.

I want to move this to a new system. My nas supports minio so I would like to switch to s3 object store for the user files, I would like to move to docker instead of bare metal. If I recall, i will need to use redis as well.

Would I be better off with a fresh install and the migrate what I can? Or should I setup a docker at the version i am on and just slowly upgrade / migrate until I am current? Any suggestions on the switch from nfs to s3?

Thanks

Hello @CrankyCoder,

welcome to the Nextcloud community!

the forum is full of similar discussions see server_migration

I recommend reading the docs regarding process and primary storage likely you find ideas

• server migration
• primary storage
• Docker .examples
• docker-compose-setup-with-notify-push-2024
• Nextcloud docker compose setup with Caddy (2024)
• Docker upgrade procedure
• Docker persistent data
• Nextcloud AiO

in short I would recommend you migrate to new system and upgrade to current version

Yes, for shure in my opinion. Just run that autoinstaller, unzip the latest Nextcloud-server.zip and you are done.
