    Hi.
    I have an Ubuntu12 server running the latest ISPConfig 3.1. I'd like to upgrade the server to the latest available LTS OS.
    I made several searches but didn't find anywhere the correct steps to perform, so I'm sharing here what is my plan:
    1. make a backup/snapshot of the current server.
    2. Code:
      do-release-upgrade
      Since all the distros are officially supported by ISPConfig doing so shouldn't affect services that much.
    3. Code:
      ispconfig_upgrade.sh
      I understand there could be minor configuration changes between versions, so running an upgrade AND reconfiguring services should fix any of these.
    4. anything else?
    This is what I came up to. Any correction or suggestion is welcome.
    Thanks
