I am going to make another attempt at updating the distro on the web server, if it fails there will be about a half-hour downtime to restore from backup, if it succeeds only a few minutes to reboot.
Past attempts have failed because of library version mis-matches, I believe I’ve got a way to identify and fix the offending libraries.
This will impact https://friendica.eskimo.com/, https://hubzilla.eskimo.com/, https://nextcloud.eskimo.com/, https://www.eskimo.com/, and all the shared hosting sites we host.
