Forge publish a cookbook recipe for that here. The problem I had was my site uses website isolation, and that user didn’t have sudo access.

I was able to upgrade node (to v20 at the time of writing) by logging into the server as the root user. Ran the commands that Forge suggests, but without sudo since we were already root.

apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change &&  apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg

mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key |  gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
NODE_MAJOR=20

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main" |  tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change &&  apt-get install nodejs -y

That version of node seems to have flowed through to my isolated website user.

In my case when I added the domain for LetsEncrypt I forgot /public from the Laravel path. Registration worked for some reason (?), but renewal a few months later failed.

I updated /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/*.conf and changed the path to /public and it worked.

php.ini is at /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini

Change max_upload and post_max sizes (not their exact name, do a search for current value).

Restart PHP with this command:

service php7.3-fpm restart
