Is it possible? Install a new Magento 2.4.7 on Ubuntu 24.01 with PHP8.3 + migrate Date from old

[adobetuffi27c4]

I have a Server with Ubuntu 22.04 and Magento 2.4.6-p3

Currently I have lots of trouble with it, I can't update it to 2.4.6-p8 (https://community.magento.com/t5/Magento-2-x-Version-Upgrades/Can-t-edit-block-after-Upgrade-Magento...)

I wonder if I can do the following:

Install a brand new Magento 2.4.7-pX on Ubuntu 24.01

Import the old database into the new Server

Copy all images from the old server to the new Server

Install the needed plugins new (only a handful are important for us)

Would that work?
Are there any tutorials that describe this? I can't seem to find them.
Or are there any paid services, that do such stuff that are not too expensive, we have only a small shop with abount 100 products, but they are very configurable (designs, fillings,...)?

Yes, your migration plan is doable! 

1. Install Magento 2.4.7-pX: Set up a fresh installation on your new server.
2. Migrate the Database: Export the database from the old server, import it into the new one, and update credentials in env.php.
3. Copy Media Files: Transfer all images from pub/media to the new server.
4. Reinstall Extensions: Manually install only essential extensions to ensure compatibility.
5. Reindex and Clear Cache: Run necessary Magento commands like reindex and cache:flush.

While tutorials are available, the process can be technical. Managed magento hosting providers like Nexcess or Devrims offer Magento-specific services, including migration, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal downtime. This might save time and effort for your small, configurable shop.
