Transferring a site "off" of Umbraco cloud - Any guidance?
c
Hey all, We've had a client that has expressed a wish to transfer away from Umbraco cloud in favour of a different solution. Just trying to understand how the process is meant to take place but cant seem to find anything concrete from within the past couple of years documentation wise. I'm assuming: - Remove all references to "Cloud" / "Deploy" packages and files. - Transfer media to either a new blob storage or return it to an original file based approach where its stored "in" the site structure as opposed to a blob. - Disconnect Umbraco ID (Do we transfer the Umbraco ID logins to normal logins in some way when doing this?) - Purchase an Umbraco forms license - Create a backup file of the current SQL live DB and transfer to the new hosting solution and reset up connection strings (or I guess a uSync full export / import could be done) Is there anything else I should be aware of when moving a site off of Umbraco cloud? Cheers

This link is particular to V7 but may be of use: https://dev.to/mastrup/moving-away-from-umbraco-cloud-39g6
The wording on those articles is remarkably similar, just sayin' lol

Last I checked the Umbraco Cloud support had a guide for things that needs to be done, I'd reach out to them and hear if they have something they can share

Last time I did this, the doc they sent me was just a link to someone else's blog. So I wouldn't get too excited about it.

Ah ok, used to be a thing when I worked there a long time ago 🙂

Just checked back over the support scripts that I kept, from a year ago. The advice was the link with the dog plus.... " In v9+ there will be a couple of extra steps. uninstall nuget packages: - Umbraco.Cloud.Cms.PublicAccess - Umbraco.Cloud.Identity.Cms - Umbraco.Cloud.StorageProviders.AzureBlob - Umbraco.Deploy.Cloud - Umbraco.Deploy.Forms And lastly would be to delete the umbraco-cloud.json."

Might be a minor step to note, but remember to clear those cloud gitignore and zipignore files if you're using those

Cheers all for the insights and links! Time to give it a crack!
