Migrate from HA OS to Docker

[manic sorrel]

So, I'm looking to migrate my existing Raspberry Pi running HA OS over to my Intel NUC Server on a Home Assistant Docker install. I followed the directions on an older video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8vOxg-SI74) to copy a tarball from my Raspi over to my NUC and copied those files over the config directory. Once I started up the container, though, it doesn't look like anything actually copied? None of my devices, integrations, or other configuration appears to be there. I feel like I'm probably missing something simple but I'm not sure exactly what. Any suggestions?

How do you did the docker installation?

[manic sorrel]

I use docker-compose. The NUC is already acting as a media server and had an existing docker setup.

homeassistant:
<<: *common-keys-core # See EXTENSION FIELDS at the top
container_name: homeassistant
networks:
npm_proxy:
ipv4_address: 192.168.89.207
image: "ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable"
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- $DOCKERDIR/appdata/homeassistant:/config
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
devices:
- /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0
ports:
- '8123:8123/tcp'

And you're sure you copied your config in this folder on your host? $DOCKERDIR/appdata/homeassistant

[manic sorrel]

DOCKERDIR="/home/coyler/docker"

coyler@media:~$ ls /home/coyler/docker/appdata/homeassistant
alerts.yaml custom_components ffmpeg-20220718-145242.log home-assistant.log.fault klipper.yaml scenes.yaml sensor.yaml zigbee.db

In fact, my automations are showing up, but none of my devices or integrations

Are you sure you've copied everything? There are some Hidden files/folders IIRC

[manic sorrel]

Hmm. Let me check.

Yep, I missed some of the hidden directories. I'm re-tar'ing and copying again. I'll let you know if that was my issue (I bet it was)

[manic sorrel]

Yep, that was the issue. For the record I used the following to make the tarball that successfully restored on the new server:

cd /config
tar -cvpzf ha-backup.tgz .

Thanks for the help, @manic wren ! I knew I missed something stupid. 🙂
