Upgrading from a Raspberry Pi to Umbrel Home is a seamless process, thanks to the built-in Migration Assistant. This tool allows you to transfer all your apps, settings, and data—including your Bitcoin and Lightning nodes—without any technical hassle.

How to Migrate from Raspberry Pi to Umbrel Home

Follow these steps to move your Umbrel setup:

Power Down Your Raspberry Pi
On your Raspberry Pi-based Umbrel, shut the device down safely using the Shutdown button in Settings.
(Do not remove the external drive while the Pi is still running.)
Disconnect the External Drive
Once the Pi is powered off, unplug the external drive connected to it.
Open Migration Assistant on Umbrel Home
Boot up your Umbrel Home, go to Settings, and open the Migration Assistant.
Connect the External Drive to Umbrel Home
Plug the external drive (from your Raspberry Pi setup) into your Umbrel Home.
Start the Migration
Once the drive is detected, click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the migration.

After completion, all your apps and data will be available on your Umbrel Home, allowing you to pick up right where you left off.
