I have the task to update the Discourse forum, I don’t know the current version yet, but what I suppose is that have 1 year old without updating. Some of my doubts are:
Is there any special steps to update this server to don’t break it?
Do I have to update step-by-step, one version at the time to finally get the latest version.
I am worry about any database change (version or structure).
It’s not required to upgrade 20.04, but if you’re really concerned about the upgrade, moving to a new server lets you test before you switch over to it. You can use a reserved ip to make zero-time switch to the new server.
