Migrating Debian 9 CT from proxmox 5.2 to 6.2

[dominikp]

I have debian 9 container with nextcloud and LAMP stack. Also the data (nextcloud files and mysql databases folder) is mounted from the host (proxmox).

I would like to move this CT from my old server to new one. How to do it the safest (most reliable) way? This CT contains most important data for me so i dont want to take any risks.

PS. In the long run probably i will try to re-create this CT as VM to avoid such problems in the future.

Hello,

How to do it the safest (most reliable) way?

Backup and restore is the best way

Yea but this is CT. My main concern is that kernel and some other system things which hosts shares with containers will change when i will restore it on new machine.
Maybe im too carefull but i just want to be prepared for unexpected things as much as possible.

the shares - mounting things need just configuration if (IP, MAC address, passwords) changed, However you will keep the old LXC Container in your old host to make sure that everything goes ok
