Upgrade Ubuntu 19.04

Hello, I'm new to development and failed to update my server to a supported version. Now I fear it's too late. The error message I am getting is as follows:

Checking package manager
Can not upgrade
An upgrade from ‘disco’ to ‘focal’ is not supported with this tool.

Is there anything that can be done to upgrade to a supported version?

As Ubuntu 19.04 is now end of life, you will need to use the EOL upgrade process to do this.

I was able to update by following the unsupported method:

sudo sed -i 's/disco/focal/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

worked perfectly - upgrading from 19.04 to 20.04.3 on 2022-01-04
