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.
