System from memory card to SSD?
Hi, I'm currently using a Raspberry Pi 4 with a memory card and an external HDD connected. Now I want to take the plunge and store everything in a case. The problem is, I don't know how best to create an exact copy of the system, including data, onto an SSD. You can create an image with the dd command, but it's not recommended for migrating to a native PC (according to the forums). I've already tried Clonezilla, but according to the BIOS, it's not bootable.
Maybe someone can help me 🙂
The system is: Debian 12 bookworm with Home Assistant, Nextcloud and some other Docker containers.

Moving the system from ARMHF (the RasPi) to AMD64 (the PC) requires some manual work. I would first install Debian normal on the PC, and then manually copy your data and Config files. You’ll need other images with the Docker containers, but you should leave the rest as it is.
Okay, that won’t work like that.
A PI has a processor from the ARM “family”, while the processors from (almost) all “normal” PCs emerge from the x86 “family” or are at least compatible with this.
In addition, the boot procedure at PI and PC is completely different.
Most likely you could try https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/raspberry-pi-desktop/ install on the PC and then transfer the configuration and data files from PI.
dd.
How best? To create an image and write it on the ssd?
Yes.
