I have an old Ubuntu server that I need to update along with everything else as its been neglected for many years.
Some Server Details are:
Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
PHP is 7.2.24
Magento version is 2.3.4
I’m looking to update the server to the 22.04.3 LTS along with upgrading PHP to 8.2.12.
I know that I’m going to have to start using Elasticsearch or Opensearch.
My question is:
What is the correct upgrade path?
Do I need to update Magento to the latest stable version first, but then the PHP version won’t be supported. If I install Elasticsearch version 6, when I upgrade Magento it won’t be supported.
All I seem to be finding is that I should just create a new server with a fresh install but that’s a lot of work that I don’t have time for at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated
