I will migrate your self hosted apps and data to a new server
Self Hosting Automation and Private AI, Docker, n8n and more
About this Gig
Moving servers is where data gets lost - unless it's planned properly. I migrate your self-hosted apps and data to a new server safely: backup first, migrate, test, then switch DNS.
WHAT YOU NEED (check before ordering)
SSH access to both servers: your old one, and a new one that is ready to go. No new server yet? Message me first, I will recommend one.
WHAT YOU GET
- Full backup + verified test restore before anything moves
- Your apps rebuilt cleanly on the new server, not just copied over
- Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, n8n, Home Assistant, databases, any Docker/Compose stack, migrated with their data
- DNS switched with minimal downtime, tested together before you confirm
- A short written handover of what changed
WHY ME WITH NO REVIEWS YET
Fair question. I work off a checklist, not memory: backup, test restore, migrate, test again, then switch. I've migrated my own production stack more than once. Trained electrician turned systems engineer, so precision is the job. Basic is priced as a small first job on purpose.
Typical downtime: minutes, not days. Tell me your app list before ordering and I will confirm the right package.

FAQ
Can my data get lost?
The process is built to prevent exactly that: full backup + verified test restore before anything moves, old server untouched until you confirm everything works.
How much downtime will I have?
Usually minutes: I prepare everything on the new server first, then switch DNS. For big data sets I sync twice (pre-sync + final delta).
Can you also upgrade app versions during the move?
Yes - a migration is the perfect moment. I rebuild on current versions and migrate your data into them.
My old setup is a mess (no Compose, random installs). Still possible?
Yes, that's common. I rebuild it cleanly with Docker Compose on the new server and move your data in - you end up better than before.
Do you migrate email servers?
Case by case - mail is sensitive (reputation, DNS, downtime). Message me your setup first and I'll give you an honest assessment and a custom offer.
You have no reviews yet. Why should I risk it?
Fair question. Basic is priced small on purpose, Fiverr holds your payment until you accept, and a revision is included. Send me your app list before ordering: within a few replies you will see whether I know your stack. That is a better test than a star count.
How much of my own time does this take?
Not much. You give me temporary SSH access to both servers and your app list, I handle backup, migration and testing myself. Your time is mainly the initial inventory chat, about 15-20 minutes, plus a short check together before the final DNS switch.
