Migrating Home Assistant from a Raspberry pi 4 to an RPI5 (optional: with a PoE injector)
NOTE: No LLMs were used to write this blog post
Basically the same procedure as migrating-home-assistant-from-sd-card-to-ssd
follow every step.
- Make a backup of RPI4
- Download the backup
- Flash the new OS onto the SSD
- Let it set up
- Restore the backup on the rasperry pi 5
I ran into an issue as I’m using a PoE injector, and the Pi 5 complains about not enough power (even tho it can do 5V 5A) more details on my homelab post
It doesn’t boot until you edit the config.txt to have usb_max_current_enable enabled
[all] usb_max_current_enable=1
Is its a fresh restore of the backup, I lost access to the host system over SSH port 22222 so following this guide I can SSH into the host system from the terminal
Once you followed the above guide, head over to the terminal
SSH into the root system and edit the config.txt which is located under /mnt/boot
then add the line, and reboot the system
