Migrating PVE 1.9 -> 8.2

[mhammett]

I'm not sure how to search Google for this. Can someone point me to documentation on how to migrate old Proxmox containers to a modern server? I already have the new one. just looking to shut down the last two machines on the old server.

Maybe I should search for OpenVZ to LXC migration?

I have never seen PVE 1.9 but I vaguely remember going from 3 to 4 where Proxmox dropped OpenVZ. Eaziest way to go to PVE 8.x is probably to newly install it on a separate machine (instead of going through all intermediate major version, which you probably cannot download anymore). Hopefully the Wiki can help you move from OpenVZ to LXC: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Convert_OpenVZ_to_LXC
