This is the part that always stresses me out; I often have changes in the default config files that I don't want to lose, but I'm also worried about not getting the latest versions of the config files. I usually try to accept the new files and manually bring in any important changes I've made to the old ones, but this takes time and patience to do right, and things can break if not done right :) So far I've upgraded two Stable systems: * A bare metal install, with a somewhat robust set of packages and configuration. I mostly kept the the current configs like Dan did. * A more minimal cloud VM, which pretty much just runs Nextloud through Docker. I accepted the new sshd_config, but I manually switched PermitRootLogin back on. (Pretty much everything I do on this machine is done is root, so I don't bother logging in as a user and switching to root.) Both upgrades went quite smoothly. -- Celejar
