I run a headless server using Devuan and I'm looking changing motherboards with an upgraded CPU. I've seen around the internet over the years that Ubuntu and others can occasionally throw errors and have issues, especially with initframs and integrated graphics. So I'm curious if some of those same issues might also happen.

Currently running off an Old Dell Precision T5500 with X5500 chipset and a Xeon 5600 series; upgrading to a better Xeon 5600 series CPU. The Boards are similar but the new one is a couple years newer and I believe has SATA3 instead of my current SATA2.

I was also looking at maybe changing the motherboard to a more modern one a more recent Xeon or to a dual CPU one. I just don't want to have to redo everything in my system.

So I setup UrBackup docker server and want to take backups of all my machines and on my Devuan machine it asks to "convert root device into device mapper device on boot (initramfs)." Will converting to a device mapper device break devuan in anyway or completely bork boot or / in anyway? I would like to take full snapshots of my system for easier recovery if needed.

So last night I made the switch to Devuan but I found out cockpit is on the banned app list. My first reaction is to use Webmin instead, but wasn't too know the opinions of others before just jumping straight to my first thought. What are your recommendations. I want a webgui to monitor basics stats, set up smb/nfs shares, cron jobs, and if possible: user management and zfs pools.
