Docker

Migrate from Synology Docker to Docker on dedicated server

 

Export from Synology

Export the container after connecting the Synology via SSH, using the image name as such:

sudo docker save <image_name> > /volume1/<path_to_export>/your_export.tar

That creates a Tar file with the entire container inside. Can be quite large.

 

Import from archive

Import the container using the command on the destination host:

sudo cat your_export.tar | sudo docker load

 

Move file around in LAN

Web server usually runs on /var/www/html so dumping the export there on a intermediate computer allows for the destination host to download it via HTTP:

wget http://<computer_ip>/your_export.tar
