Hi All,
Can i replace my RPi4 4GB without any problems to a 8GB?
In my router i need to change the mac address so it gets the same IP number.
But wondering if this can be done without strange errors etc.

I think you can swap the SD card between the pi4’s without issue. There’s only the one 64bit image for this hardware.
Whether or not it will pick up the extra RAM on start up… I’m not sure.
Make a full snapshot and copy it off the card before you do, just in case.
I already have Debian 10 64Bit installed. I will make a backup and see what happen
Well that’s very relevant information you should have included in your first post.
If you are not running Home Assistant OS on the SD card forget what I said.
Sorry, no i’m running Debian 10 64Bit on a SSD, and Home Assistant in a docker.

You have couple options:
I have add the Mac address into my router and gave it a fixed IP
My only concern is can I switch SSD to new RPI4 8GB without problem.
If you’ll change IP Address on PI4 Supervisor ==> System ==> ==> Host System, router will pick new MAC for IP address. Old one will be/should removed/disabled from router, by router automatically.
Not sure if about switching SSD, many dependences.
You can do following to be save:
Create snapshot, save on NAS or local computer drive.
In case something goes wrong, when you swap SSD you can restore snapshot. Not full, but choosing items to restore.
Yes the current using SSD will be the same. So disconnect SSD from the old pi and connect to the new one. I will always make snapshot before those kind of things.
But would be nice if nothing goes wrong haha
I use Nextcloud Backup. All snapshots will be uploaded to Nextcloud…
Ok,
DONE… Had some issues:
The system is working, also all external stuff like Ngnix Proxy
There where no issues based in 4GB to 8GB:
root@ha:/home/poudenes# free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7.7Gi 1.4Gi 4.4Gi 18Mi 1.9Gi 6.4Gi
Swap: 0B 0B 0B
Amount in use was same on 4GB. Now will start some more docker Addons.
But this seems ok
Also the issue with the IP number is solved. Reboot HA and now I see the given IP number.
Thanks for documenting your approach. This was very helpful.
