Describe the Bug

Hi,

I am migrating between VPS providers and hosts. My current working instance is on Ubuntu 24.04 minimal. I stopped all containers and migrated to new host. Copied whole directory to new instance. Same OS same configuration of OS (ansible playbook). When I tried starting the containers, pangolin container is throwing this error.

pangolin | (node:19) [DEP0169] DeprecationWarning: url.parse() behavior is not standardized and prone to errors that have security implications. Use the WHATWG URL API instead. CVEs are not issued for url.parse() vulnerabilities.

Other containers seams ok, but instance admin ui starts with licence error banner and non of the sites is connected.

I use same DNS names just migrate A record to IP of new host.
Communication to internet is not restricted on both hosts.

As a sanity check I deleted whole directory and tried clean install. That starts and works normal. No errors. I tried with clean install just copy key and db files with same corrupted state.

Is this normal behavior? Is there any migration steps to take?

Thank you for superb application.
