I have an existing instance of Discourse running on 16.04, but I was trying to create a new instance on 18.04.

My original server is currently setup with DNS/https.

Now I’m trying to figure out when it’s safe to point DNS to new server … I’m confused on this transition step, and the impact https/letsencrypt has on it.
