How exactly does one do that. Sounds exciting!

Not the OP but what sometimes works is as easy as:

``` ldd your-binary ``` on the old host and then copy all the thing that is referenced, put into ./foo and then start like so on new host: `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./foo ./your-binary`. (may include typos, from memory)

A great tool for this used to be https://github.com/intoli/exodus - not sure if it still works.

Disclaimer: Also please don't do this with network-facing services, security applies, etc.pp. but it's a good trick to know.

A sewing needle, a spare magnet, and a very steady hand.

I think you copy the library file and add it to you load path
