Well. It has been done.
Took much longer than expected, mostly because I had an appointment in between
You recall (or may read again) about the server we were (and currently still are, partly) hosted?
This machine is now around 6 years old, and I decided to replace it.
-> parts may not be available in the future
-> monthly costs now more than necessary
-> server OS would have needed an upgrade (which means adaptions of all virtual hosts stuff like routes/bridges etc)
So, the new machine is now basically faster, larger etc. and costs 1/3 of the current host
For those who want stats:
1x Intel® Core™ i7-6700, Quad-Core Skylake
RAM 32 GB DDR4 RAM
2 x 500 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSD (Software-RAID 1)
Internet Bandwith max. 1 GBit/s-Port
Should be enough for us, the mail server and storage space.
I rented a new storage unit (2 TB) for backups too, dirt-cheap.
Mailserver (+forum/wiki) will follow in around a week.
Will be much less hassle, I don't need to adapt virtual hdd and such things, so it will be smoother and quicker. Also, game will keep running
