Hi, there. I'm looking at doing a scratch installation on a VPS and discovering that the recommended OS for the Dreamwidth base code has reached EOL and is no longer supported. In fact, I'm having trouble finding anywhere that will let you deploy a machine with 16.04.

My question is, are there any plans to upgrade the source code to run on later versions of Ubuntu? Alternately, has anyone successfully deployed a scratch installation on 18.04 or later? What sort of issues did you run into? Thanks in advance!

We run production on 18.04 these days: Dockerfile

FWIW tho, since there's not really much of a self-hosting ecosystem these days, there's probably some bitrot when it comes to things that aren't our production environment. Happy to answer questions though if you have any.
