I currently have an Unraid server. I'm planning to move to Sylve. (https://sylve.io/)
The pc is an HP EliteDesk Mini G2 with 16 GB RAM, 3 x 6 TB HDDs + 2 x 2 TB HDDs for storage and a 250GB SSD.
It is currently running the following docker containers:
Apache Guacamole Urbackup Debian Bookworm (for web dev) gPodder Immich Kali Linux Macinabox Plex Media Server RTSPtoWeb SpeedTest Tracker
It also has some VMs:
Ubuntu server Windows 11 Haiku OpenWebOS FreeBSD 2 old Synology DSM test VMs
For Shares, it has:
appdata (docker containers) backup (Urbackup) domains (VM FS) Immich Isos Media Photos
I am planning on installing Sylve to the SSD. I will have to move the data from the xfs formatted drives to ZFS formatted drives.
I have 7TB of data. Filling each of two 6TB drives just over half.
Here are the steps to migrate the data:
1) Install 1 x 6TB drive and 2 x 2TB drives on Sylve and format as ZFS 2) Install the other 2 x 6TB drives to a Linux computer on the network but DO NOT FORMAT. 3) Copy the data across the network to the Sylve drives. 4) Install the 2 x 6TB drives on Sylve and format as ZFS. 5) Setup ZFS Pools as appropriate
Alternatively, I can run UNRAID in a Jail on Sylve and keep the 3 x 6TB drives there. Sylve would have the 2 x 2TB drives.
I am going to use plan B.
Then I can keep all of the UNRAID Dockers and VMs running and move them one at a time to Sylve.
