Ubuntu 20.4 on my Digital Ocean droplet needs to be upgraded.
Can the upgrade be done without shutting down the relay. I currently have six flags and don't want to loose them. How is the upgrade done on a relay that is in operation?
It seems possible.

You have to shut down the relay.
Keeping tor up to date, and the OS and all the other things installed on it up to date, is much more important than maintaining your flags. You'll get them back.
Please upgrade.

IMO relays with a way too long uptime should get a penalty.
If you replace "uptime" with "unpatched since at least..." when you read it, things make a lot more sense.

Read release notes and save your Tor keys before upgrading. ;-) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

As Matt said: Server reboot after kernel upgrade and Tor deamon reload is required.

Yes, it can. I've done it several times on D-O- (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS). Use Digital Ocean's dist-upgrade and distro-upgrade docs and you should be okay. Take your time, there's no rush.
Just be sure to back up your tor config file and contents of /var/lib/tor, just in case something goes pear-shaped.

And you're left with programs running on a back-level version of libc and a very out-of-date kernel.
