Hello,

Yes, you could just use the NextCloud migration tool.

Log into the ownCloud server via SSH
Go to the folder where ownCloud is installed. That is typically something like /var/www/html/owncloud
Use the following command to download the migration script:

wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/installer/migrator/index.php

Then put it in the updater folder:

mv index.php.1 updater/index.php

*. Now go to the URL of your ownCloud server in a browser and log in. Then append to the URL this: updater/index.php so it looks like: https://your.owncloudserver.com/updater/index.php

*. Then you can just follow the steps

For more information check out the official NextCloud documentation here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
