Hello all,

For a few days now I have been reading about the shiny new opencloud alternative to nextcloud. Has anyone tried to migrate from nextcloud to opencloud?

I have not found a guide about how to move the files from one to the other. I want to try it out and if I like it enough, move. But how does one do that?

    Databases are not the issue but that the updater doesn’t handle it… My personal instance and our work instance never take long (a few seconds) to fix the database. I mean the instance is already in maintenance mode and adding a checkbox to do it or not to do it, should be simple. I don’t know if there are instances where it takes long and its better to do it during the night.

      I’ve made an update script that tries to run the migrations and index updates in one go.

      #!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/updater/updater.phar --no-interaction --no-backup
/usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/occ maintenance:repair --include-expensive
/usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/occ db:add-missing-indices

      The updater itself is by far the slowest of the three commands. I think downloading the new version into a different folder and just moving apps and files over would be much quicker. But I haven’t had the time to look at potential errors with that method.
