Hello! I need a guide on how to migrate data from shared hosting to Docker. All the guides I can find are about migrating docker containers though! I am going to use a PaaS - Caprover which sets up everything. Can I just import my data into the regular filesystem or does the containerisation have sandboxed filesystems? Thanks!

    Yes, I would set up the containers empty, then import your data however the applications want it. Either by importing via their web interface, or by dropping it in their bound directory.

      Thanks! So, here in the Capriver demo config for Wordpress path says: var/www

      This is the regular var/www? Not a different one for the Wordpress container?

      I would just simple put my current WP files (from public-html) in that directory?

      Do the apps all share a db?
