Move Homarr to new computer
I am running Homarr via Docker on a Truenas Scale server. I only have 1 dashboard. On occasion Homarr becomes unresponsive on my Ubuntu PC. I cannot click on anything on the dashboard page from Brave. Ions, tabs or even clicking x to close the page does' not do anything. When that happens all other Brave windows run fine. As part of troubleshooting I am thinking of moving Homarr directly to the Ubuntu PC.
Is there a way I can move my board so I don't have to recreate it? I understand it is in the database, but I can't seem to find the database when I open a terminal to the container. The version in the container is 1.0.0.

I figured it out thanks. I didn't use a host path mount. I found I could backup the database with docker cp imageid:/appdata/db/db.sqlite db.sqlite and after moving that to my PC everything was there. That made me comfortable enough to then delete the installation on Truenas, reinstall it to be V1.18.0 and reload the database so I am back on Truenas vs. having it on my PC. This way I can see if I experience the hang with the new version while still on Truenas.✅

Awesome. Can I mark this as resolved then? Of course you can re-contact us for the responsiveness issues. Also note the current bug for the TrueNAS app where startups can take up to 15 minutes.
Yes, it is closed. I just changed to a host path mount so now I can snap the database with Truenas to back it up. I am not experiencing the 15 minute startup delay. Thanks!
