forum.spinalcordmri.org OS Upgrade #71

Closed kousu closed 1 year ago

kousu commented 3 years ago

The forum server is currently on Ubuntu 18.04-LTS. 20.04-LTS is now 6 months old; we should upgrade to it.

This is relatively easy: just sudo do-release-upgrade. Then it's important to apt-get purge the various packages that are no longer part of Ubuntu -- the upgrader will mention them.

This shouldn't be a huge deal. The content, Discourse, runs in its own container anyway. Now with the mail server I installed in #70, I know some small updates to the /etc/smtpd.conf will be necessarily (particularly tls require is now just tls) but that should be minor.

We should coordinate taking a backup of the server before doing the upgrade, just in case, and deleting it after the upgrade is successful.

Part of this task is to update the instructions to match the new OS. But it's not clear to me that the current instructions -- especially my additions in #72 -- actually all fit together, so when doing this part of it is to double-check everything and fix that too.
