**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 4.4.10  
My PHP version is: 8.0  
My Database type and version is: MySQL 8.0.34

**Your problem**  
My problem is: How to migrate from already existing Mautic to a new Mautic using Docker

**My Question**

Hi,

We currently have a Mautic instance (not installed with Docker) and we’d like to create a new istance using the Docker Image.  
There is not so much documentation concerning Docker installation (other than docker hub), or a migration.

How can we proceed ? Can an export / import of an SQL dump work ?

Thanks !

Using mysql dump is one part, you also have to migrate the logs, media folder, app/config/local.php and basically any other file that is not versioned.
