Okay, I’ll leave it running for a few days then. Otherwise I guess instead of a rpi4 with ssd it’ll need to be a rpi5 with ssd. **UPDATE:** Hours later and more reading later, I decided that I’ll try change the lxd container from using a `btrfs` storage pool, to using a `zfs` storage pool. Once done, it was able to progress past that point in about 5 minutes (whereas with btrfs it would hang for an hour or so before the workers would start failing). It’s still building, however once it has finished and I’ve been able to successfully import the backup and get cloudflare SSL sorted, I’ll publish my migration from discourse docker running inside a scaleway, to discourse docker running inside a lxd container inside a raspberry pi 4 + ssd. **UPDATE 2:** > [@An ordeal migrating from Scaleway to a Raspberry Pi 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/an-ordeal-migrating-from-scaleway-to-a-raspberry-pi-4/294354): > > Here the documentation of my mishaps and my eventual success getting a discourse instance migrated from scaleway to a raspberry pi 4, with cloudflare infront. Created a backup from the scaleway discourse instance, and ./launcher stop app, and shutted down the machine. Installed Ubuntu Server 23.10 on a usb connected sata ssd powering the Raspberry Pi 4 Installed LXD, created a 100GiB btfs loopback storage pool.
