Moving configs from Docker Desktop to Docker Ubuntu

Did you get it working?

I went ahead and ran the setup script and set it up from scratch. I still have it running under Docker Desktop so I don't get gaps in the DB.
I shut down both containers (Docker Desktop and then the Ubuntu docker container) then I copied the influxdb and the graphana folders over to the new Ubuntu machine, but when I restarted the new Ubuntu Powerwall container, it only showed data from today and not the historic data, like it didn't actually see the database. I thought maybe I need to follow the backup procedure although I sort of did, I just didn't compress them before moving.

No, you will need the entire data folder (which is actually where the data is located) as well as the meta.db.

Can't copy the entire folder, even as root - access denied. I did the backup script, then moved the tar over the the other machine and extracted it following the instructions. Now, a blank dashboard with errors everywhere, invalid gateway. I guess I nuked it.

docker logs influxdb

I finally got it. I just had to follow the restore directions properly.

Thanks.

Good job!
