Move Docker Containers To Other Computer

Copy all docker containers and data to new server, replacing all of docker on new server:

ssh [email protected]
cd repos/wekan
sudo su
docker-compose stop
systemctl stop docker
cd /var/lib
tar cvpzf docker.tar.gz docker
systemctl start docker
scp docker.tar.gz [email protected]:/var/lib/
exit
exit

Then on new server restore:

ssh [email protected]
sudo su
systemctl stop docker
cd /var/lib
mv docker old-docker
tar xpvzf docker.tar.gz
systemctl start docker
exit
exit
