I have HA running on my Qnap via docker and looking to buy the Green box. Will I be able to restore the installation on the green box from my docker core backup?
Not exactly.
Assuming docker is running Container (basically core) and you put HAOS on the green, you will use either
- easy - HA (not docker qnap or whatever else you use) FULL backup
- slightly less easy - copy of the ENTIRE (including the hidden stuff) /config folder
If using option 1 to HAOS, just transfer and restore the backup to green, make sure the green is setup to inherit the IP address your container used to have and boom.
You can do this because core can backup but does not include the restore-that’s the supervisos job. Container can’t restore but it can create a legitimate backup to be used for transfer and HA backup is platform agnostic. Your target - green has HAOS so it can restore that backup just fine.
Option 2 instead of restore, overwrite the config dir on the green with the copy aquired from yojr container.
(1 is way easier.)
