Oh happy day!
This newbie #sysadmin is VERY HAPPY because in less than 5 minutes I:
installed tmux (thank you for the recommendation & instructions @teapot_ben and @drfyzziks)
upgraded PeerTube from Terminal using tmux
now the stakes weren't super high because I did this for my second VPS which is running test apps... the real challenge will be to do this on my primary VPS and my in-production PeerTube instance.
Grabbing another coffee, taking a VPS snapshot and trying this.
As always THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. I couldn't do this without you 💖
Oh but the larger point in this message was to vouch for tmux - it really is super beginner friendly. I know NOTHING and I was able to easily install it and use it. So you could recommend it to your normie friends for sure ☺️

@elena tmux is indeed quite the useful beast! I still seem to have trouble remembering that the command to reattach an existing session is just attach, not --attach or -a, but my brain will eventually get there... I'm seriously considering taking on a PeerTube instance -- I'll be interested in your experiences setting up & maintaining yours. ^.^

@teapot_ben @drfyzziks @elena Tmux is amazing, I use it every day. For long-term remote sessions sprinkle in some “mosh”, especially if you’re using a mobile hotspot.
