Migrating standalone Linux Nextcloud into Nextcloud Plugin

[hbauer]

I am currently running a Nextcloud instance on a Debian box and I want to migrate this to a Truenas Nextcloud Plugin.

I have investigated the normal "Migrate to another Server" documentation https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/maintenance/migrating.html but I do have some question because this document is a little bit different from my use case.

My plan is roughly

- create a new plugin/jail
- delete mysql db in jail
- delete filedirectory in jail
- create mysql dump on old
- move mysqldump + file directory into jail
- import mysql dump into databse on new
- change admin / keys in configure.php

my question is
- has anybody already finished such an exercise?
- do I loose plugin specific configuration settings when deleting the mysql database that was installed via the plugin?

Any hints are appreciated

Don't install the plugin. Just create a fresh jail. It'll be a lot less buggy, easier to upgrade, and you can just follow the migration instructions.
