Setting up my server as a newbie some years ago, I did not have the ability to purchase more then one 8TB hard drive. Outgrew that rather quick and now I have two additional 16TB drives, in a Just A Bunch Of Disk configuration, mounted to different /mnt mount points. I know this is not ideal, but lacking the ability to expand further or buy new drives for a new zfs pool and transfer, I don’t have much of a choice but to wipe the drives, set up a zfs raid and re-download everything.
I have everything set up in docker-compose files, so I’m pretty sure I just need to keep those and the folders where the configs are, modify the compose files with the new file structure and… I am unsure where to go from here. Will everything start being grabbed as soon as my dockers spin up? Is there an additional procedure I need to do to make sure I don’t wipe my existing config files with blank empty ones? Is there an easier way of doing this?
Already have a 3-2-1 backup of the config folders and compose files, and I have backups of the VM if anything goes south. Making sure my logic train was on the right path.
