Why not provision a new server with 20.04 and move the data over ? I assume the project is in git, so its just the database and storage files that needs to be moved.

Upgrading forge provisioned server from 18.04 to 20.04
This upgrade really scares me, but it needs to be done to use some new features. Any advice before going down this road?

@Sinnbeck I agree with @sinnbeck - it's what I did. Provision a new server with the tech you require, pull down the project, moved the DB and potentially storage if it's not in an S3 bucket. You can potentially wire up a different domain to it, or subdomain to it first as an alias to make sure everything works as you expect before you migrate the proper domain over.

@drewdan Yeah I have just done it with 3 servers and it was a breeze (using ploi instead of forge, but I imagine it is the same)
