Specifically for 3.4.0.beta4 -- what are the system requirements?

I would have done that but didn’t think those instructions were sufficiently idiot-proof. My approach was:

  • Read only mode on.
  • Backup Discourse from admin interface.
  • Digital Ocean snapshot.
  • sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade, sudo do-release-update twice (20.04 to 22.04, then to 24.04).
  • Update Discourse as normal (twice, for the Postgres update).
