Hi!

First, backup /var/www/planka/ and also backup the database.
Rename /var/www/planka/ to any other name (for example planka-old).
Follow all steps from "Install Planka" up to "Configure environment variables" from here: https://docs.planka.cloud/docs/installation/manual_installation/debian_ubuntu/#install-planka.
Copy these files and folder from /var/www/planka-old to /var/www/planka:

.env
private
public/project-background-images
public/user-avatars

Run database migrations and start Planka by npm run db:init && npm start --prod.
If everything works fine, you can delete /var/www/planka-old.
