Description
I was just following the README for migrating an existing installation to a Dockerized installation: https://github.com/nextcloud/docker#migrating-an-existing-installation
The steps are numbered in this order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5. After I got to step 5 (the first one), which says to remove all lines pertaining to app_paths, it then proceeds to step "3" which says to keep the app_paths lines and set them a certain way. But wait, I just deleted them all!
I'm happy to submit a pull request, but first need some clarification on which approach to take. Basically, do we need to keep the app_paths and configure which ones are writable or read only? Or do we just remove those lines entirely and forget about it?

Research direction
Open the README's “Migrating an existing installation” section and review the numbered steps around the app_paths instructions. Resolve the contradiction between removing app_paths lines and retaining or configuring them, then make the sequence and guidance consistent. Done means the migration steps are sequential and no longer give conflicting app_paths directions.
