I installed Owncloud via Digitalocean’s One-click. So, I’d love to switch to Nextcloud without losing data. It looks like some people have been successful at doing this, but nothing one-click, digital ocean specfic.

Hi!
The ownCloud 1-click image is just an ownCloud instance pre-installed on a Droplet. It isn’t any different from a regular ownCloud instance that is manually installed on any other Linux server.
Migrating an ownCloud instance to NextCloud is very simple. Start off by taking a backup of your files and database:
Delete everything but the
config
anddata
directories. We’ll do that by creating a new directory and moving the directories that we want to keep to it.Then, download and extract Nextcloud into the new directory. You can grab the latest release’s download URL from this page.
Remove the
owncloud
package:Now, delete the old owncloud directory and rename the new one to owncloud:
Finally, trigger the upgrade:
You should now be running a working nextCloud instance. Good luck, and let me know how it goes!
