Moving docker containers over to a new machine

Currently have a RPi 3 with HA (not Haas) in a docker. I want to install MQTTT, Appdaemon (for python automations) and maybe other stuff. However, I’ll be honest I don’t want to stick to a RPi for much longer. So I’m just wondering if I should wait until I get a mini PC before I connect new containers such as those mentioned OR should I just go with it and install it as it is and move them incense I get my new machine. I am not sure if I will be buying a new machine yet.

I guess my question is how easy is it to move my setup of containers over to a new machine after I have them all configured?

You don’t move containers… you just need to make sure the data is moved… generally in the config folder. Then you would just pull the images and create the containers looking for the data in the right places. That’s the beauty of docker.
