Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll pass it along to our writers. To the best of my knowledge, on the basic setup, not too much has changed. For most ubuntu packages you can go from php5 to php7 by changing “5” in any package names to “7.0”.

If you’re at all interested, we pay writers who are interested in updating tutorials or writing their own.

Still nobody wrote it? FInding it impossible to get things running well on 16.04 using this ubuntu 14 tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-remote-database-to-optimize-site-performance-with-mysql
