Install Latest curl version 8.3.0 on Ubuntu 22.04/20.04/Debian 12/HestiaCP

I really look for an automated server migration script, alone the installation of all the software installed on the source server would take me days, function not guranteed. The current status is, that I tried that already, and the result is: CWP working, transferred websites not working fully, email not working.
That can not be the solution
There must be a working transfer script out there, no matter what you have on the source server, just using rsync and changing IP adress/hostname everywhere it is referred to.
Am I the only one who has this problem?

I usually install cwp first and do this and it works every time, different hardware doesn’t matter and the kernel will take care of it.
in some cases efi boot cause issues
in this situation move the users manually

How to easily migrate local users and groups from one sys...
All local users and groups (within a certain UID/GID number range) need to be migrated from one old system to another freshly-installed system without manually creating said users on the new system.

that is what I have right now, anyone may find something I overlooked….
At least it is rebootable, though database and cwp NOT working at all, nor websites.

also if you just rsync etc your system wont boot anymore, as target server has different hardware for sure.
Think it needs a more granular response.

Thanks Sandeep
Seems you forgot CWP itself in this approach, as well as other installed software.
Can you advise a script doing all this and running out of the box. Already did something similar but always got stuck up to now.
Th farthest I got was CWP running by manual install and websites running partially but not all links working.
But I really need a one to one copy by rsync, yet take care of the different IP and hostnames, and hardware specifics (shouldnt rsync /boot….). Thought it was less difficult, but no one a solution? Seems I am the first one to migrate a CWP server? No working script out there?
