Hi @satsnakamoto,

On the relay side you could do something like

> sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/stop && tar -cvzf nostr\_backup.tar.gz ~/umbrel/app-data/nostr-relay/data && sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/start

And then to unpack on new instance

> sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/stop && tar -xvzf nostr\_backup.tar.gz -C ~/umbrel/app-data/nostr-relay/ && sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/start

Brilliant solution @smolgrrr thanks very much. I need to keep in mind that much of what is linux and docker are just files on a filesystem and can be manipulated very simply.
