 1. Install Nextcloud AIO on a new server/linux installation, enter your domain and wait until all containers are running
 1. Recreate all users that were present on your former installation
 1. Take a backup using Nextcloud AIO's built-in backup solution (so that you can easily restore to this state again) (Note: this will stop all containers and is expected: don't start the container again at this point!)
-1. Restore the datadirectory of your former instance: for `/path/to/nextcloud/data/` run `sudo docker cp --follow-link /path/to/nextcloud/data/ nextcloud-aio-nextcloud:/mnt/ncdata/` Note: the `/` at the end are necessary.

(Or if `NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR` was provided, apply `chown -R 33:0` and `chmod -R 750` to the chosen path.)

 1. Run `sudo docker exec --user www-data -it nextcloud-aio-nextcloud php occ files:scan-app-data && sudo docker exec --user www-data -it nextcloud-aio-nextcloud php occ files:scan --all` in order to scan all files in the datadirectory.

Edit the Nextcloud AIO config.php file using `sudo docker run -it --rm --volume nextcloud_aio_nextcloud:/var/www/html:rw alpine sh -c "apk add --no-cache nano && nano /var/www/html/config/config.php"` and modify only `passwordsalt`, `secret`, `instanceid` and set it to the old values that you used on your old installation. If you are brave, feel free to modify further values e.g. add your old LDAP config or S3 storage config. (Some things like Mail server config can be added back using Nextcloud's webinterface later on).
 1. When you are done and saved your changes to the file, finally start the containers again and wait until all containers are running.
