Check the external package repository before upgrade

In this environment, NodeSource is set as the external package repository for Node.js. Check the files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d.

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_14.x focal main
deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_14.x focal main
$ dpkg -l | grep nodejs

Update pre-upgrade package

Keep the package structure clean.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt autoremove
$ sudo reboot

Preparing update-manager

Install the update-manager-core package.

$ sudo apt install update-manager-core

Specify Prompt = normal in the/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file.

$ cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
# Default behavior for the release upgrader.

[DEFAULT]
# Default prompting and upgrade behavior, valid options:
#
#  never  - Never check for, or allow upgrading to, a new release.
#  normal - Check to see if a new release is available.  If more than one new
#           release is found, the release upgrader will attempt to upgrade to
#           the supported release that immediately succeeds the
#           currently-running release.
#  lts    - Check to see if a new LTS release is available.  The upgrader
#           will attempt to upgrade to the first LTS release available after
#           the currently-running one.  Note that if this option is used and
#           the currently-running release is not itself an LTS release the
#           upgrader will assume prompt was meant to be normal.
Prompt=normal

Check if there is a version that can be upgraded

$ sudo do-release-upgrade -c
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
New release '20.10' available.

$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1022 -j ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)

I'm running via SSH, do you want to continue?


This session seems to be running on SSH. It is not recommended to upgrade over SSH. This is because it will be difficult to restore if the upgrade fails.

Port additional SSH daemons if you want to continue'1022'Start with.
Are you sure you want to proceed?

Start a spare sshd

Ports to facilitate recovery in the event of a failure'1022'And another sshd
let's start doing .... If something goes wrong with the currently running ssh, you can still connect to the other port.

If you are running a firewall, you need to open this port temporarily. This operation is not automatic because of the potential danger. Open the port as in the example below:
'iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1022 -j ACCEPT'
