Replacing my #raspberrypi 4B server with a #thinkcentre m93p.

The #thinkcentre has more ram, a 512 GB #sdd and can handle external drives far better than the #raspberry does.

Finally, also lucky to get rid of #rasberrypios in favor of #debian and #arm in favor of #amd64 .

I think I will first migrate #apache2 with #nextcloud, and then the E-Mail server (#postfix & #dovecot) in a second step.

The latter is probably more difficult.

Now on #trixie. The raspberry still runs a 32bit version of the raspberrypios, so a new installation was necessary sooner or later, anyway.

Took this as the occasion to also replace the hardware with something better.

@Billie migrated from Raspi 4 to an old Thinkcentre some months ago. It was phased out at work because of lacking Win11 support. It works now at home with Trixie. Nextcloud, Mozilla syncserver, FMD, Signal CLI, Searxng, and some other things ...

@pdl

The web server with nextcloud is migrated, now mail has to follow (postfix/dovecot).

I think this is more complex to migrate.

@Billie I do not host a mailserver. I think you can use imapsync to yync your mails from the old server to the new. I did it this way while migrating from one provider to another.
