  • When I’ve needed to transfer data over to a new disk, I’ve used gparted from a live usb to copy/paste partitions directly. Once that’s done, you’ll probably need to update /etc/fstab to point to the new drives and run update-grub (assuming you are using grub) to update the bootloader config.













  • You can have multiple A records point to the same IP address, yes. Whatever website you’re managing your DNS with should allow you to create multiple subdomains as A/AAAA records. You can also (if you wish) use a wildcard to ensure that all subdomains go to your VPS’s server.

    If you want to run multiple HTTP/HTTPS services on the same IP address (as it looks like you want to do), you’ll need to use a reverse proxy like Nginx. It can pattern match on domain names and ensure that traffic for one domain goes to an appropriate port/socket (mastodon.example.com being sent to the mastodon service). It’s not possible for DNS to specify port redirection.

    Also, you’ve not mentioned it here, but look into https://letsencrypt.org/ for HTTPS certificates.
