Note:
Ubuntu is not a supported Domino Linux distro still. However, we have been running in production on secondary Domino servers since Domino 7.
For a supported Linux, swing your RedHat box to 7.4 or higher, or CentOS 7.4 or higher. Unlike Ubuntu, RedHat and CentOS strongly recommend new installs for each release.
Prerequisites:
Upgraded Ubuntu from 16 to 18.04.1:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Note:
I kept any current configs rather than installing new package default configurations.
Copy Domino 10 Linux Install File:
1. Used Filezilla to transfer new Domino tar to server.
Untar and Install Domino 10:
$ sudo tar -xvf DOMINO_SERVER_V10.0.64_BIT_LINUX_.tar
$ sudo su
# cd linux64/domino/ (assuming using the 64bit version of Domino)
# NUI_NOTESDIR=/opt/lotus (or NUI_NOTESDIR=/opt/ibm/domino in the newer releases)
# export NUI_NOTESDIR
# ./install
Take the defaults unless you need to change them. The install should auto-detect the folders and the domino user id.

Update the Notes.ini to add the new Create_R10_Databases=1:
# cd/local/notesdata/
# vi notes.ini
Add the following line:
Create_R10_Databases=1
Remove the old Create_R9_Database=1 option.
To update ODS now, run compact:
# su notes
$ /opt/ibm/domino/bin/compact -c /local/notesdata/
Note:
If you have terabytes of data, this will take a while. Consider doing just the system apps, and doing the others after the system as restarted.
Start the server manually for any prompts of design updates, etc.:
$ cd /local/notesdata/
$ /opt/ibm/domino/bin/server
Look for any messages to update Directory design, etc.
When done, type quit to stop the server.
> quit
If you are updating the autostart scripts and using the Nash ones, you need to create a soft link for dbmt:
$ cd /opt/ibm/domino/bin/
$ sudo ln -s /opt/ibm/domino/bin/tools/startup dbmt
Exit being user Notes and start Domino normally as a service:
$ exit
# service domino start
or
# systemctl start domino
Look for any errors.
