I have installed OpenMediaVault and a bunch of Docker services.
Is it possible to clone everything on my microSD, and put it in my SSD, and then boot from the SSD as if nothing changed?
I’m asking because microSD cards don’t last long.
Edit: Using a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB with the Argon Eon case
Raspberry Pi4? Then yes, here’s a guide to update your bootloader:

For older models(Pi<4), no but kinda: Afaik oder models could only boot from SD-cards. But that only means the bootloader has to be on the SD-card. So you can copy everything but the bootpartition and change the entry in the /etc/fstab to the new root on the SSD.
Listen to this guy, he obviously knows better than I do, I was doing that long time ago and dont even remember completely. Was just trying to help while you wait smart guys to answer 🤣
Thanks, this looks like it’ll work. I’ll report back
I just did some more research and aparently my intel was a bit outdatet (from arount 2020). The guide should still work, though booting from SSD should be working by default and does not require any eeprom-updates. So you can probably start with step 4.
