Hello, is there any way to backup overseerr to restore on a new instance similar to the arrs? I am wanting to migrate my deployment to a new cluster and would prefer this method rather than manually restoring the pvc

If there isn’t anything better, you could try transferring the settings.json file and db folder from your overseer’s config folder.

Understand which data you should back up.

Is Overseerr compatible with Jellyseer? IE can I simply switch my image from overseer 1.34.0 to jellyseer 2.7.3 with no issues? If this is not the case, if I manual backup settings and db, will these be compat or am I looking at a fresh start?

Don't see anything in docs regarding migration

I've seen the merge announcement, but there is nothing regarding any migration? Unless you're saying the beta builds will allow both overseerr and jellyseerr to be 'migrated' from automatically?

Thats literally what the announcement is saying yes. I guess its not that clear

#

It will be automatic

#

You just have to point to your overseerr config folder

Gotcha thanks, that wasn't very clear to me tbh

#

And make sure the container path is /app/config

#

There will be no migration steps required

#

It will be automatic

#

Unless you want to use postgres

#

Then overseerr -> seerr (automatic) then sqlite -> postgres migration via docs
