Hi all, I'd like suggestions for a new basic server. I'm currently running my website and a number of web apps I use to demo enterprise work processes on a single-disk 11.3 server with a 2nd disk for periodic backups of the web apps and the occasional file system dump. I'm concerned about backups and recovery, and would like replace the server with a new ZFS-based system and a pool of three or four 1T SSDs. I'm not interested in laboring over spec's and tweaking the system out and I'm not storing the world's movie collection. I favor basic, mature parts and minimum time spent making decisions. Is the following migration strategy reasonable? Can I restore a dump from my single-disk system to a new bhyve/ZFS system? Can I copy the virtualbox-ose virtual disk file to the new system and bhyve will know what to do? I'm using the virtualbox-ose NAT to remap the vm IP address and port, will bhyve be able to do this? Thanks for your recommendations. ## CURRENT SERVER wwww.dalescott.net:8080 <------------------------------------+ | | www.dalescott.net <--\ +--------+-------+ mantisbt.dalescott.net <--+ | ERPNext/Linux | proqjector.dalescott.net <--+ +-----------------------------------+ nextcloud.dalescott.net <--+-----+ Apache/MySQL/PHP | virtualbox|ose | +------------------+----------------+ | FreeBSD 11.3 | +-----------------------------------+ emo (DHCP ISP) | Core2 66000 | <-----------------------------------+ 6GB RAM | +------+----------------------------+ | +----+ 200G HD - ada0s1a on / +----+ 200G HD - ada1p1 on /backup ## PROPOSED SERVER wwww.dalescott.net:8080 <------------------------------------+ | | www.dalescott.net <--\ | mantisbt.dalescott.net <--+ | proqjector.dalescott.net <--+ +------------------+ | nextcloud.dalescott.net <--+-----+ Apache/MySQL/PHP | | +------------------+----------------+ | FreeBSD 11.3 | ERPNext/Linux | +------------------+----------------+ | bhyve | +-----------------------------------+ emo (DHCP ISP) | ??
