Upgrading Ubuntu version?

[Elliot-12345]

We currently run the Globaleaks software on an Azure Ubuntu VM running version 20.04 and are looking to upgrade to the latest supported version i.e. 24.04, likely involving setting up a separate VM using 24.04 and moving the disk over.

Are there any specific steps we need to follow in order to make the software 'Upgrade ready' so to speak or any considerations we need to be aware of pre-upgrade, during and post-upgrade to ensure the applications functions as normal?

i did the same operation last year from one debian to an other, i installed globaleaks on the new server, stopped the service, copied the database, chown´ed the database and started the service.

plz try with test server first. - note that when you start the server it sends a load of notifications if its a old backup..
