INN2 on a Raspberry Pi 4? | Migrating between instances of INN2

There is one point to keep in mind: The Pi4 does not have a real-time
clock, so the system time will be on Jan 1st 1970 upon boot. The INN
software will behave pretty strange with the clock being that far off,
so take precautions for that.

Either in software by making sure INN start is postponed until some ntp
software did its job[1] and/or by asserting time synchronisation in the
initrd or even earlier. Or in hardware by buying some battery-backed
RTC.

    if the clock is earlier than that. Or just wait for a while.
