AW: [EP-tech] Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS to 24.04 LTS upgrade

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

We did an Inplace Upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04 on internal Test Repositories and a less important and smaller ePrints Repository. No issues as far as we can tell.

 

Downtime was less than 30 minutes.

Good morning,

 

We are still running EPrints (currently on 3.4.3) on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, and that is reaching end of standard support soon, so we will need to upgrade to 24.04 LTS (Noble), there is no "skip" to 26.Has anyone been through this OS upgrade on Ubuntu with EPrints?  The recommended upgrade path is to start with a fresh virtual machine, and transferring the archive and database onto it, right?  Anyone upgrade "in place" instead?  Any comments on this would be appreciated.  Thank you.

 

Tomasz
