If you can try it, you'd do me a favor, or confirm whether it's possible or not.
I tried in the past but there was no way, I couldn't.
Now it means getting a new VPS (which isn't much money) and doing the test, it always gave me the same error.
If it has to be done, it's done, but when I mentioned it, I didn't get an answer on how to solve it.

If you can, I'm going to get a VPS and put cwp9 on it, because sooner or later, that account will have to migrate to cwp9, and manual migration would be a disaster for me... :)

Thanks

You can make backups, transfer them to the new server (or make remote backups to the new server) and restore accounts from backups or try to add the ssh access key from the new server to the old server.

I can help if you can't do it yourself.

I think I did everything (I say I think because I don't remember well) but I did add the key for account transfer, and it never worked, connection error, but if I did it to the same server but with almalinux 8, no problem.

I'm interested in not having to reset the email passwords, that would be a headache...

I'm buying a test VPS, I'll get on with it and let you know.

Thanks for your offer!

The encrypted mail passwords are stored in the table 'mailbox' of the database 'postfix'. I think the passwords can be retrieved from the db and restored on the new server. It should work if postfix for Almalinux 9 / RockyLinux 9 uses the same method of encryption.

With the ssh access key, it never worked.
Making backups as you say, I haven't tried it, if that also restores the email key or password, it's a solution.

What you say about them being stored in the table 'mailbox' of the database 'postfix', is a matter of testing, I doubt it's as simple as moving and that it keeps the passwords, but if it is, it's a very good solution.

Now I'm going to do something else (you know, the MariaDB upgrade) but this week, I'll get a server with AlmaLinux 9, I'll put cwp9 on it, and if you want, we'll start testing.
