This guide will outline some basic steps to copy/move your Cloudbox setup to another server and/or another domain name.

Listed below are some common scenarios and their migration instructions.

1. Backup your current Cloudbox server.

1. Restore Cloudbox to the new server (skip steps #7 and #8 for now).

2. If you are not using Cloudflare:

   • Point your domain's DNS to the new server.

3. Install the relevant Cloudbox type: Cloudbox, Mediabox, or Feederbox (step #7 of the Restore instructions).

4. Install any extra, not-default containers you had installed previously (step #8 of the Restore instructions).

5. Check to see if your Plex Autoscan URL has changed and update Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr, accordingly.

1. Restore Cloudbox to the new server (skip steps #7 and #8 for now).

2. Add in your new domain name into settings.

3. If you are using Cloudflare:

   1. Register your domain with Cloudflare.

   2. Add the Cloudflare API into settings.

4. If you are not using Cloudflare:

   • Point your new domain's DNS to the new server.

5. Replace the domain name in app specific config files:

   • /opt/cloudplow/config.json

   • /opt/emby/config/system.xml (only if installed)

   • /opt/motd/config.json

   • /opt/traktarr/config.json (only if installed)

   • /opt/plex_dupefinder/config.json (only if installed)

   • /opt/plex_patrol/settings.ini (only if installed)

   • /opt/sabnzbd/app/sabnzbd.ini (only if installed)

6. Install the relevant Cloudbox type: Cloudbox, Mediabox, or Feederbox (step #7 of the Restore instructions).

7. Install any extra, not-default containers you had installed previously (step #8 of the Restore instructions).

8. Check to see if your Plex Autoscan URL has changed and update Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr, accordingly.

1. Backup your current Cloudbox server (Optional, but recommended).

2. Revoke your domain's SSL certificates.^[1]

3. Add in your new domain name into settings.

4. If you are using Cloudflare:

   1. Register your domain with Cloudflare.

   2. Add the Cloudflare API into settings.

5. If you are not using Cloudflare:

   • Point your new domain's DNS to the server.

6. Replace the domain name in app specific config files:

   • /opt/cloudplow/config.json

   • /opt/emby/config/system.xml (only if installed)

   • /opt/motd/config.json

   • /opt/traktarr/config.json (only if installed)

   • /opt/plex_dupefinder/config.json (only if installed)

   • /opt/plex_patrol/settings.ini (only if installed)

   • /opt/sabnzbd/app/sabnzbd.ini (only if installed)

7. Install the relevant Cloudbox type: Cloudbox, Mediabox, or Feederbox (step #7 of the Restore instructions).

8. Install any extra, not-default containers you had installed previously (step #8 of the Restore instructions).

9. Check to see if your Plex Autoscan URL has changed and update Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr, accordingly.

10. Remove any files that contain your domain name in /opt/nginx-proxy/vhost.d. nginx will re-generate them automatically for your new domain. manually change the contents of any file in /opt/nginx-proxy/conf.d to point to your new domain. Not doing either of these steps will cause nginx to have issues restarting and will lead to "Page cannot be found" errors when attempting to browse to your services.

^{1 This will free up the domain name from Let’s Encrypt and you will be able to use it in the future without having to wait for the previous certificates to expire (~90 days).}
