How-to move lemmy instance to another server? (lemmy.procrastinati.org)

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find an answer. Can anyone point me to some instructions on how to move a lemmy instance to another server?

Is it just a matter of copying the volumes and conf files to the new server and doing a docker compose pull & up from that new location?

Use rsync to get the bulk of the data over (even if it's mid write) one or more times, then stop the stack on the origin server, and run rsync again. It should be much faster.
