Is there a way to transfer data from one plausable server to another?

I am looking to move away from Digital Ocean to AWS. I wanted to know if there is a way to transfer the server without losing the data. Thanks for the help.

It's a manual job at the moment. You have to know how to work with Clickhouse and Postgres to get exports from both and to import them into a new DB. This is an obvious candidate to automate in the future, but for now we don't have anything more convenient, sorry.

I've had good success with backing up and restoring the entire Docker volumes across instances - it works pretty great, assuming you maintain the same configurations etc. It's also much easier than trying to transfer actual Clickhouse and Postgres backups.

Can you write something more?

Dropping the link here as well, it is a manual process but can be done: https://dev.to/codeero/migrating-plausible-data-between-instances-30ng

We had an issue this weekend where our docker manager (caprover) got corrupted and we were forced to migrate to a new server.
It took a lot of hard work and issues, headaches and challenges, but we managed to get it done.

I threw everything into a quick post if anyone else has the same issue, you can find it here dev.to Migrating Plausible Data between Instances/Servers

Thank you for an amazing product @ukutaht & @metmarkosaric!
