Did you fill Community tab of Metatrader with your forum login and native forum password?

My example: I filled Community tab of MT5, and it was confirmed in the journal about sucessful login to Community tab:

QG    0    17:32:11.758    MQL5.community    activated for 'newdigital', balance: [...]
RN    0    17:32:14.125    MQL5.chats    activated for 'newdigital'

Yes, I see from your logs that you filled Community tab:

GP    0    22:01:58.014    MQL5.community    activated for 'Peoster', balance: [...] (frozen: [...])
LI    0    22:01:58.266    MQL5.chats    activated for 'Peoster'

Well ... my case:

1. I filled Community tab of Metatrader (see quotes post above).

2. I opened the chart and attached EA to the chart (autotrading is ON in MT5 settings and in EA's settings) -

3. I am ready to provide the migration:

I clicked "Migrate" and it was sucessful - 

And it is from the log/journal of MT5:

I am attaching my journal log for the last 3 days.

If you have error 1001 in the logs as ... [1001] (connect failed) ... so it means the following: internet/connection problem for your Metatrader/computer.
And as I see from your logs - you had this error 1001 so check your internet connection.

-------------------

About error 1001 (from this blog-post https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/753357):

Error 12029 and error 1001

According to google:
"Error "12029" is a WinHTTP error code that indicates that a socket connection failed because encrypted communication could not be established".

And it is some decision from Microsoft about how to fix it: 

To resolve this problem, enable TLS 1.2 support on Windows 7. To do this, follow the guidance in the following Knowledge Base article, and then, restart the computer:
Update to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as default secure protocols in WinHTTP in Windows

Migration was sucessful: one chart with two indicators and EA attached were migrated, and EA already open trade.
So, I can close this chart on my home Metatrader ... and I can switch Metatrader/computer to be OFF or connect to the other account - because it was migrated to "Metatrader in cloud" (yes, it is the other Metatrader - such as "virtual terminal), and everything is fine.

-----------------

How to controll whole the process with MQL5 VPS?
We have MQL5 logs/journals, and I can switch MT5 to trading account with VPS (from time to time for example). 

-----------------

If I want to stop this MQL5 VPS (or cancel it) so I go to this page: https://www.mql5.com/en/vps/subscriptions  
If I cancel this MQL5 VPS subscription so I will get the remaining time as free minutes and then use that minutes to rent a new/other hosting (using that free time; thast is why some traders are having free minutes/hours/days for this VPS).

Besides, I look at your log files and found the following (in 20250910.log and 20250911.log):

OL    0    12:35:30.748    Virtual Hosting    6720898: prepare to transfer experts, indicators and signal
QH    0    12:35:30.750    Virtual Hosting    6720898: migrate 10 symbols (168 bytes) 

and same one repeated many times, for example:

JN    0    14:39:21.866    Virtual Hosting    6720898: prepare to transfer experts, indicators and signal
FK    0    14:39:21.866    Virtual Hosting    6720898: migrate 11 symbols (184 bytes) 

Seems you did not migrate anything (means: you did not open the charts with EAs attached to migtare it).

-----------------

My example:

When I did not open the charts with EAs to migrate (and if I do not have the signal subscription) so I get the following written in the journal:

FN    0    18:21:36.070    Virtual Hosting    6720405: prepare to transfer experts, indicators and signal
MK    0    18:21:36.070    Virtual Hosting    6720405: migrate 3 symbols (56 bytes)
HI    0    18:21:36.070    Virtual Hosting    6720405: prepare charts to synchronize...
LN    0    18:21:36.070    Virtual Hosting    6720405: 0 charts of 1 prepared to synchronize
MF    0    18:21:36.072    Virtual Hosting    6720405: prepare start.ini to synchronize...
CP    3    18:21:36.072    Virtual Hosting    6720405: nothing to synchronize, no any EA or custom indicator, signal for '52058354' is not enabled

-----------------

So (as I see from your logs), you did not open the charts with EAs attached to migrare it - at least, Metatrader did not mention about your charts opened with EASs attached - it in the journal.

Thanks Sergey.

Do I need to open the charts with EA's for a VPS to be able to have status "started"?
Should the VPS not first have a status started and then when I migrate it will be able to migrate?
Or is it the other way around, the VPS only changes status to started when migration is complete?

Yes, migration = start VPS. 
I have no idea: do we need to migrate at least something to start VPS ...

You can try to migrate at least empty chart, and check the journal after that.

----------------------

What is migration/synchronization?
It is the migration of your home Metatrader's envoironment with this "Metatrader in cloud".

What are going to be migrated?
Open charts (even if it is empty charts), attached indicators (attached to the charts), attached EAs, or/and signal subscription. 

---------------------

You can try to migrate at least empty chart(s) - to see (to check about).
Because I do not have Macbook ... so may be - your error is too specific sorry.

But I just shared my personal example about how I am starting with VPS for example.
