Hello, how can I migrate Lemmy from one host to another?

It is deployed via the ubergeek77 method with Docker images.

Do I need to transfer them to a new host and change the DNS settings? Do you know how the transfer should be done?

    Just to clarify: will you use the same domain? If yes, oleorun’s answer is good enough. If not, it would be much more harder (you would also have to update your instance’s URL and users’ inboxes URLs in the database for federation to work, probably have to unsubscribe aand resubscribe to every community on your instance and even then I’m not sure that would not lead to federation issues)
