Thanks a lot for your fixes 💚

I'd say the installation on the new server could happen before the (DNS) switch, so that only the restore process has to be run as the final step.

I was not sure if the letsencrypt certs nginx vhosts etc. will work with the backup & restore. But thinking about it if everything is copied over they should and there is no need to have a new cert to be issued on the new server 🤔 ... what will happen in that case though is that the letsencrypt cert creation attempt will fail and show some error during installation? Not sure what is better.

Hmm, good point, I haven't tried either — I think the cert creation just fails without interupting the setup and it'll try again later.

Yes, it for sure does not interrupt the setup but likely shows some error messages which might confuse users or if everything is alright.
