  • Reinstall flatpaks on the new machine.
  • Migrate Flatpak app data.
  • Migrate Toolbx containers.

Prerequisites

  • Both computers are expected to be on the same network.
  • The destination computer is expected to be freshly installed with the user set up.
  • Both users should have the same UID, names could be different.
  • rsync, sshpass, xdg-user-dirs, gawk are installed.
