inherited old system, trying to figure out upgrading solutions (ubuntu 18.04, cloudron v7.4.3)

[CadeHenschen]

hey folks, I was inherited a Cloudron v.7.4.3 server on Ubuntu 18.04. It's hosted on DigitalOcean, and the upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 mentions restoring from a fresh droplet instead of hosing an install.

I went to try that today and noticed Ubuntu 18.04 is no longer supported on DigitalOcean, and Ubuntu 20.04 does not support the right packages to install v7.4.3. I feel like I'm kind of stuck on how to restore our server.

Am I just hosed? Is there any way to salvage anything if I were to just make a cloudron v6 on Ubuntu 20.04? I have the backups saved locally (including the box file), but I have zero clue if I could meaningfully save my wordpress site and email app. Due to Ubuntu 18.04 retiring across the board, our site is getting nailed with brute force attacks... I'm really unsure how to proceed.

Any ideas/anything I could possibly restore?

please close - digital ocean said it was v5.4.1, we have v7.4.3 - trying again on 20.04

hey @CadeHenschen there are very specific documentations and step-by-step guides for distribution upgrades:
