title: "ubuntu 20.04 upgrades"

i've been preparing a large upgrade for tilde.team to ubuntu 20.04 focal fossa.
|
|
|
|
the new vm has a fresh install and will help to address some of the long-standing
|
|
issues that i've been wanting to fix for quite some time now
|
|
|

|
- dedicated /home disk - we haven't had any actual issues here luckily
|
|
but it will prevent any issues where a user accidentally fills a disk
|
|
and chokes out the rest of the system
|
|
|
|
- fixing uids - at some point, the spamassassin package created a system
|
|
user account with a uid > 1000 which threw off the user numbering into
|
|
the 5000 range. i've renumbered user accounts on the new vm to remove
|
|
that large jump
|
|
|
|
- dedicated service accounts - each service now has its own account in `/srv`
|
|
which is importantly outside of `/home` and is not a single user running multiple
|
|
services as it was configured previously
|
|
|
|
the ip address is the same and everything should be as you left it. please let me
|
|
know on irc or shoot an email if something is amiss.
|
|
|
|
i have an ongoing list [here](/~ben/todo.txt) that i will update as i get things
|
|
back up and running.
|
|
|
|
another important note: python is now 3.8 by default and you will need to
|
|
explicitly call python2. all local site- and dist-packages have been removed
|
|
since they were targeting 3.6. you will need to recreate any virtual envs
|
|
that you may have.
|
|
|
|
cheers,
