Version 60 for Ubuntu 22.04 is released

Hi All,
I am getting ready to do this upgrade, having carefully (I hope) read and digested the travails reported here.

My /home directory is on a separate data volume, so I can attach it to any server in the data center. My question is what do the experts say regarding just attaching and mounting the volume on the new Ubuntu 22.04 server, after doing the MIAB install on the new server (instead of doing the duplicity restore step)? My proposal is to:

  • set up the new Ubuntu server and install MIAB (this step is already done)
  • on the old server, do all the backup, cleaning of ssl directory, etc prep work that precedes the duplicity restore step as documented in Moving to a New Box / Testing Backups
  • shut down the old server and attach the volume to the new server
  • edit /etc/fstab to mount the volume on /home
  • reboot
  • rerun sudo mailinabox as per instructions

Does anyone have any suggestions, gotchas, insights with this plan? I think my question boils down to whether there are things that get put on the new server in /home/user-data that need to stay there for the new MIAB to work? Or will the sudo mailinabox put them there if they are missing?
