Moving from Synology Docker Hass.io to Pi4b

I have been running HA on my Synology DS918+ [using the [Hass.io on Synology DSM (native package)] for a year at least and all worked well but found that I could no longer update Supervisor tonight as Synology’s Docker is not up to date (and no idea when it will be).

As I love HA and could always use a new project, I thought I might buy a Raspberry Pi 4 and follow the instructions to install.

I’ve put a LOT of time into HA and NodeRed so would love to know how easy/hard it will be to restore my current Docker system with HA Core 0.117.6 on to the new Pi4b. I created a Snapshot, can I just restore it after following the step-by-step ‘getting started’ guide?

Also, does the HA installation make it so the Pi4b cannot be used for anything else? If other Docker issues come up, I may move some other items like teslamate and pihole as well. Can I install Docker on the Pi4 if I follow the HA install method?

Any issues with my Zwave and Zigbee connections by doing this move? Will they be recognized/attached by the new Pi as soon as I move over my Conway II and Zooz sticks?

Thanks!
