### Description

I’m trying to move my RC installation to a new server, I’ve setup nginx and docker-compose on the new server identically to the older server, and copied the data-folder to the new server.  
The old server OS is: Ubuntu 14.04.  
The new server OS is: Ubuntu 18.04.

When I first start the new server it works for a while, but shows “Internal Error” messages in the corner regularly. Some actions does not work at all, such as visiting a channel. I added some screenshots of the errors that are produced.

### Server Setup Information

- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 2.1.1
- Operating System: Ubuntu
- Deployment Method: Docker-compose
- Number of Running Instances: 1
- MongoDB Version: 3.6
- Proxy: Nginx

### Additional Information

I tried doing it with mongodump at first but I couldn’t figure out how to do it, so I hoped that it would work just as well by copying the data folder.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Nevermind, I solved this by doing a mongodump on the original server and mongorestore --drop on the new server.

I have also deployed using the docker-compose method.  
And used mongodump on my on click install on DigitalOcean’s server to backup the data.  
How do I now mongorestore in my already running Docker container?

Do I go in like this?:  
docker exec -it \<container\_id\> /bin/bash

This could be more of a Docker question than RocketChat.

Thanks for your help in advance.
