Can I move my nextcloud account from a provider to my own server? (lemmy.ml)

I currently have an email provider who also gives me my own nextcloud account. If I were to setup my own server in a while (which I would like to do), will I be able to carry over all my things (contacts, calendar,Talk conversations, appointment pages, etc) in some easy manner?

I've not yet started using these things because I'm not sure if it will be too much work to shift later.

You might be able to ask for a SQL database export that you could try to import into your own Nextcloud instance (with the same version). But that only works if they isolate accounts to a full instance and not just give people access to a single instance.

I'm not sure if I understand the last bit.

They could use one Nextcloud server for many users or one Nextcloud server per one user. If the latter, then they could give you control of the database. If the former - they cannot give you the access to the database, as there are other accounts there.

Makes sense. Thank you!
