• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Question Should I upgrade from Ubuntu 18.0.4?

I just realized that Ubuntu 18.0.4 is ELO. Didn't realize this when I moved my Plesk server to a new VPS a month ago. ‍♂️

Should I update Ubuntu to something newer? Will there be any problems with Plesk (Plesk v18.04.6 LTS)?

I still have access to my old VPS on Digital Ocean if that helps (everything is turned off though, just waiting for me to cancel the subscription).
 
You should upgrade to Ubuntu 20.0x or better Ubuntu 22.0x (LTS).

Ubuntu 18.0x (LTS) is also end-of-life.

EOL Ubuntu | End of Life (EOL) | Lifecycle

Ubuntu product lifecycle information. Get end of life (EOL) and release dates for all releases of operating system Ubuntu
endoflife.software endoflife.software

Taking a server backup or downloading a server snapshot before doing so, is the minimum.

If that causes any problems, depends on your setup. In my case, it was not a difficult task.
 
Thanks for the input!
Will there be any problems with my current installation of Plesk? Ie, do I need to update that as well, or will it handle that automatically?
 
Hmm, on the other hand. v20.0.4 seems stable and legit, is there any real reason to perform this upgrade now?
