Self Hosted, AWS Lightsail and Ubuntu

Long topic title… whew! :flushed_face::roll_eyes::grin:

Anyone else running self hosted on AWS Lightsail?

Out of curiosity I went and looked at the self install instructions today, noted Ubuntu LTS was the recommendation, and see I am currently on 20.04.06 LTS and that the recently released LTS is 26.04.

I’m in no hurry to make the jump due to how new the latest LTS is. This is really a planning ahead for maybe later this summer.

My memory fails me from 2023. I am pretty confident that my last Ubuntu update, I took a snapshot from lightsail, spun up a new instance on the new OS, and restored the snapshot and was off and running, easy enough.

Anyone done either an in place OS update on a lightsail recently, or something similar to the approach I described above?

Thanks in advance!
