Server settings not preserved after migration from snap to docker

Community Support

Hello

Following the guide here:

I adapted it so as to restore the database into a Docker container instead of a “manually installed” server, using docker-run and docker-exec commands on the container instead of plain commands in the host - the only difference I note.

A quirk worth noting: after restoring, I visited the site and got the standard “Server setup” page ; I filled it in nonetheless to see, and lo-and-behold, my original data, all channels, users, pasted pics, etc were there. Cool.

Even the integrations were there - which I assume are part of the “core” settings.

HOWEVER

The site settings were gone - SMTP configurations and LDAP configurations to be precise, these are once more empty/default. Are these not “core” then?

Are the above (setup screen quirk, and missing data) expected effects?

If I back up my database, are the settings meant to be preserved, or are these to be preserved separately ?

In your export can you take a peek in the dump and see if there are files for rocketchat_settings inside? Sounds like that collection is oddly getting lost during export.

If Rocket.Chat is truly stopped it should be exporting all collections with no issues. Maybe also verify the process is completely terminated also
