       I just typed do-release-upgrade on my ancient Ubuntu server that has been running Ubuntu 18.04 undisturbed for seven years somewhere in a data centre in Europe.This is fine. This will be fine. At least I'm not upgrading OS X.

       On the bright side, if this goes catastrophically tits up, I can have it wiped and install a better distro.

       I'm sure this is fine and won't cause any trouble down the line.

       So, given my ISP provided choice of distros for when the computer inevitably fails to come back up, if you had to pick one to save your life, would you go with AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux?

       Question 2: does anyone have any experience with Yunohost? Another option is a version of Debian that Yunohost likes, and it has all the apps I'm planning to run on it. I don't much want to live in the Debian extended universe, but I might risk it if someone assures me Yunohost is a game changer.

       @bodil @_elena has written about self hosting on Yunohost: https://news.elenarossini.com/tag/self-hosting/

       OK, here is the conclusion.The Ubuntu upgrade naturally failed. Rather than try and find a way to connect to the provided IPMI service to see what went wrong without installing Windows XP in a VM to be able to run either the only known working IPMI client or a Java applet, I decided to cancel the server and get a slightly newer one. This has now just been delivered with Debian 12 installed, on which I'm going to attempt to run Yunohost.I'm not crazy about the Debian, but it is what Yunohost requires. Never again Ubuntu, in any case.

       Given a choice, I'd be running Arch Linux, btw.
