Migrate Personal Space Data to OpenCloud Using rclone

This guide will help you migrate personal space data from NextCloud and oCIS to OpenCloud using rclone. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a smooth migration!

Generate users token using CLI or API​

Run OpenCloud with the following configuration​

Modify .env file:

START_ADDITIONAL_SERVICES="auth-app"

Enable auth-app service:

PROXY_ENABLE_APP_AUTH="true"

Generate user token using CLI​

Access the OpenCloud container:

docker exec -it opencloud_full-opencloud-1 sh

Generate an authentication token for a user (e.g., alan) with expiration (h, m, s):

opencloud auth-app create --user-name=alan --expiration=72h

Generate user token using API​

Requires additional configuration! Start the server with:

AUTH_APP_ENABLE_IMPERSONATION=true

Then generate a token via API:

curl -vk -XPOST 'https://opencloud_url/auth-app/tokens?expiry=72h&userName=alan' -uadmin:admin

Install rclone​

Download and install rclone by following the official guide: rclone.org/install

Encrypt Authentication Tokens​

rclone obscure <token>

Create the rclone Configuration​

Edit the rclone configuration file:

nano ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

Copy Data to OpenCloud​

Use rclone copy to transfer data from oCIS and Nextcloud to OpenCloud:

rclone copy ocis-admin:/ opencloud-admin:/ --no-check-certificate -P  # Copy oCIS admin personal space to OpenCloud admin space
rclone copy ocis-einstein:/ opencloud-alan:/ --no-check-certificate -P  # Copy oCIS bob's personal space to OpenCloud admin space
rclone copy nc-bob:/ opencloud-alan:/ --no-check-certificate -P  # Copy Nextcloud admin personal space to OpenCloud admin space
