Just wanted to share my happiness.

AIO is the new (at least on my timeline) installation method of Nextcloud, where most of the heavy-lifting is taken care of automatically.

    People talk a lot of smack on snap, but installed the nextcloud snap 5 years ago to check out nextcloud and see if I liked it. I did, and the snap was so easy that it stuck around for 5 years. I didn’t do anything except update the underlying OS. It is really well maintained.

    I just migrated off of it to get a little more flexability, but I have nothing but good things to say about it.

      Any tips or tricks for your migration? I don’t have any plans in the near future but I never found a super clear path to migrate off.

      That’s the only downside i have for the snap at the moment.

        I couldn’t make things easy for myself when I migrated, because I wanted to use postgres, while the snap uses mysql/mariadb and I wanted S3 storage instead of file system.

        In the end I just pulled down all the user filed and exported the calendars and contacts manually, then imported them on the new instance.

        There are some blog posts on migrating db types, but my install is very minimal and I just didn’t want the headache.

        If you don’t want to change the database type, then you can just dump the db from the snap, backup the user file directory, then restore into the new database and rsync up all the files.
