DigitalOcean 1-Click App at EOL (**App broken**)

[noahsbwilliams]

Issue Summary

Multiple key packages within DigitalOcean 1-click image are at or approaching EOL. This affects the ability of new Ghost users to spin up Ghost sites using this image.

• Yarn GPG key and repository distribution mechanism out of date & unable to get updates - urgent, breaking!
  • sudo apt update/upgrade fails.
  • Install yarn through npm instead of apt
• Node out of date; 12 gets axed in 2022.
  • Bump to Node 14
• Ubuntu LTS out of date; 18.04 gets axed in 2023.
  • Bump to 20.04
• MySQL out of date ; v5.7 gets axed in 2023.
  • Bump to 8.0

To Reproduce

1. Standup DigitalOcean 1-click app.
2. SSH into droplet and run through installation prompts.
3. SSH into droplet and attempt to run apt update / apt upgrade.

Filing as a bug because of:

a. This image's status as an officially sanctioned Ghost installation method;
b. The fact that this method no longer works properly.

Maintenance is, of course, the responsibility of the administrator, but breaking changes to several external dependencies have rendered it impossible to upgrade without full manual reconstruction.

Technical details:

• Ghost Version: latest
• Node Version: 12
• Browser/OS: N/A
• Database: mysql:5.7
