DO Droplet Upgrade Question

Hi everyone!

The time has come for me to upgrade my Digital Ocean droplet. I have found a guide I can follow however, if any of you have any hard earned tips I'd love to hear them!

One question I had was do I have to reapply my folder permissions on the upgraded droplet?

Thanks very much!

I upgraded (and later downgraded) a droplet and did not need to do anything. Have you read that you have to fix things?

@Snapey thanks, that's good to know. No I hadn't read that I had to fix things, just trying to think of possible situations as its for a production site. Thanks again!

** your mileage may vary ;-)

There may be some tweaking possible in terms of how the memory is allocated etc, but thats beyond my skills...

Actually just finished doing the resize just this moment, was very smooth and quick process and it looks like it's running as it should! It's 4am, wanted to minimize the downtime impact to users. I'll post here if I find any irregularities. Also was a bit nervous that there was going to be issues with the resize so I took a snapshot before I did the resize. Thanks again for the advice.
