Ubuntu 22 has been out since April 22, 2022, and it was time we started supporting this new LTS OS as well. Not all providers support this OS yet, but the ones that do, are now available to be installed via Ploi 🙏
If you’re currently on an older version of Ubuntu, don’t worry, the end of life of those (and that’s why we only provide LTS) is over the year 2028. To give you a small example, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS end of life is the year 2028, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS end of life is the year 2030 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS end of life is the year 2032, so plenty of time to provision a new server later. More on that here: https://ubuntu.com/blog/what-is-an-ubuntu-lts-release
From our perspective, we can’t recommend upgrading from an older Ubuntu version to a newer version within your existing server. The best is to provision a fresh server and migrate sites/data over slowly. This ensures you have a fresh server, all services run with the latest updates and you do not have to migrate/upgrade/update any packages to make it work.
