Hi,

Seems I need to do an sudo upgrade for the distro Im using (Cant install auto SSL on Zesty correctly).

Would the snap (and everything else included in it) stay intact or would I need to start over?

snaps work across distros. They have a base layer called a core snap that provides a consistent base regardless of what OS you are actually running. So an upgrade should be fine. Though for safety maybe do a backup of the db because that’s always wise regardless 🙂
