Nextcloud from ns7 to ns8

i have read all the excitement about ns8 and i am looking forward to installation, but i have waited due to the issues with migration. Nevertheless, i decided to scale back and simply migrate nextcloud. I would like to use debian for the Ns8 install, so is there is a straightforward to do such, the rest of it i would be happy to do it manually or start fresh.

Thanks

Hi @koolandrew

See this:

Note: The workaround with the bug issue can be ignored, it’s no longer needed.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your two cents as it is worth than that :smile:…i use proxmox already, prefer debian for linux installs so this would be helpful, i just glanced at the post, nothing about transferring over the install for nextcloud that i saw but no biggie, this is still a win. thanks

Hi @koolandrew

As the Titel said, that How-To was a specific How-To I made to promote the use of Debian. As I’ve often stated here, I am Team Debian, not Team RHEL clones. I used Debian before RedHat, and I still do. It’s the basis on all my Proxmox, OpenMediaVaults and other Servers, but also for my Debian Desktops and also Ubuntu.
I don’t trust anything RedHat after them singing the (Big) Blues… Debian is Open Source, does not belong to a “Company”…
Add to that none of my clients have a need for any form of RHEL Certification.

It was also specific for a “New Install”, not a “Migration”. :slight_smile:

Migration of Nextcloud will usually go without issues, but if possible reduce your App set to the basics before migration if possible. Keep a list of Apps on NS7, then reenable them on NS8.

And as any Proxmox user does (others should also): Make a backup of both NS7 and NS8.
For Migration I strongly suggest at every step or Milestone in Migration.
If nothing else, it does help for peace of mind! :slight_smile:
