I just upgraded my droplet from FreeBSD 11.2 to 11.3. Can I simply follow these instructions to update to 12.1? Last time I upgraded from 11.2 to 12.1 my droplet “broke”. Nginx stopped working and some of the DO conf files “went missing.” I probably did something wrong or missed a step or something.
