[Systems] Migrating Pootle from Justice to Bender

[Bernie Innocenti]

Hey Ibiam,

Thank you for offering to migrate Pootle and for scoping the work to be 
done. If Alex or James could setup the new VM on bender and give you 
root access, I'll do the necessary DNS adjustments.

Would a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 LTS install with a single partition of 50GB 
be suitable?

Thanks,
Bernie.
