Life got busy and I was unable to tend to my vps before 20.04 was eol’d. Now I’m trying to upgrade my release and not getting anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Heya, @marcorama
These things happen. We have an article that covers the process, which you can check here:

Heya,
You need to do the following:
apt update
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade
do-release-upgrade
Those are the steps.
Hi there,
Since Ubuntu 20.04 has reached EOL, the regular upgrade path might not work out of the box.
You’ll need to update and upgrade your packages first, then use do-release-upgrade. If that still doesn’t work, check the official DigitalOcean guide here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-22-04-jammy-jellyfish
An option here is to spin up a new Droplet and transfer over your website; that way you can test out everything before switching over as well.
