Not so when you are using custom offerings from a hosting company. OP specifically mentions "Nextcloud office suites". How will he migrate that?
- danielheath 4y agoInstall it somewhere else and move the data directory across? Nextcloud is foss, right?
- jtode 4y agoYah it's just a plugin, an advertised feature if you will. Whatever rented presence I have for a public IP will be treated the same way one treats a container (might end up being a container, who knows...) - persistent config and storage data is stored outside the container and invoked on launch, and similarly, I will have all config and storage backed up on my local server as well. So as they say, if I decide I don't like my hosting company, I will be ready to simply shut them down and open a new account elsewhere, apply config, "restore" backups to new bucket/blockstore if need be, done.
