The whole scripts needs update about streisand

Well, I second that. It is true that many sections are out of date and the activity on the project is very low to non-existent. Also, the platform of choice Ubuntu 16 is getting old, it will be end of line in 2021. Beyond that date, the whole install will start becoming unsecure due to lack of support. Looks like the developers got tired and moved on to better, greater things. If that is the case, this is very sad since the need for a good trustworthy vpn has never been higher. I can help a bit but I do not have the skill set to make a major upgrade by myself.

@woefull At first I tried Ubuntu 18.04 but when the script failed, I downgrade it to a have chance of working in the lower version

Now, I am curious. Did you tweak the existing scripts by hand to rebase on Ubuntu 18.04 or are you going through the tasks manually. What do you think is the best approach, if something makes sense I might try an Ubuntu LTS 20.x just for fun.

Hello everyone,
I tried to get a new server created from an Ubuntu 20.04LTS builder to an Ubuntu 20.04LTS target on digitalocean.
To try that, the only thing needed is to change the defaults in the genesis-digitalocean role to refer to the new public image name.
I did and I gave it a try... I got a nice warning that the install would probably fail since the target server was not 16.04 but continued anyway.
Well, I was a bit disappointed but not surprised when it failed and I was even less surprised at the first task that failed. The infamous GPG thing.
The precise task that failed was: wait for the gpg agent and dirmngr control sockets...
Now, if not for the time out, I would have waited forever, it failed at that point.
If anyone has a clue as how to upgrade the script to handle the right version of GPG for a newer distro, I would be willing to try it. I dont think there is a really good version of GPG but perhaps there is one that would work just enough.

Also, the droplet got created and updated just fine on digitalocean... so that portion still works well.
That's if for now.
Have fun everyone.
