Topic: Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

I want to install the latest iRedAPD, but to do that I need to upgrade Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04. Is it safe to perform this update and I will not damage the existing iRedMail configuration in this way? What could be the right way to perform this update?

Re: Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04

- Perform normal OS upgrade with the command/tool offered by Ubuntu system.
- Check log files under /var/log/ to figure out whether there's some error, fix them one by one.

We have tutorials for 14.04->16.04, also 18.04->20.04, but no 16.04->18.04 yet:
https://docs.iredmail.org/upgrade.ubunt … 16.04.html
https://docs.iredmail.org/upgrade.ubunt … 20.04.html

You can paste all issues in this forum, we will try to help as soon as possible. Or, you can pay for remote upgrade support, contact us (https://www.iredmail.org/contact.html ) if you need such support.
