Essentially yes.. but not the latest php version as such.. the version compatible with with 1.x and 2.x once upgraded to 2x I would then upgrade the php version to the most recent
No php modifications needed.. All the addons will be dropped that I've modified as this essentially xenforo 1x install will just be the vanilla build to allow the upgrade..
Any desirable add-ons will be added to 2.x
Or you can make a copy of your XF1 installation using this guide >> https://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to-duplicate-a-live-site-to-use-as-a-test-site.2792/
I would probably have to remove all add-ons, then you upgrade that copy to XF2.

Assuming everything is in place with aws including free ssl, sql, phpmyadmin etc etc
You could make it easier do the upgrade on a new server in gandi then transfer the xenforo 2x installation from gandi to aws once the dependencies are in place on AWS then apply ssln additional config and skinning (Theme) for 2.x
Repoint the domain
Edit
Thinking about it your installing dependencies twice, so would upgrade on AWS

Nerds.
Quiet. The one time you don't bully nerds is when they are doing all the work on a group project.
Not overally familiar with AWS... So that would be a learning curve... time [emoji849]
Nerd lover.
Shush... be thankful we haven’t had Dantes come up with a solution and explain it to us.
He's currently powering up his self designed Ironman suit to storm Biden tomorrow.
As others have said, I lack the tech knowledge to be a meaningful part of a hands on solution but happy to contribute to funds required to hire on a managed solution.
I would be very sad if this place closed. It's my favorite corner of the internet and I love all you cunts very much.
And Jono - you are an absolute legend. I had no idea that this place basically wasn't self-running. Thank you for all the work you've done.

Is that a euphemism for “having a wank over a picture of Big D”?
I don't think it ever stopped?
Bar mystic, do we have any sunny/jono-like folks who can make this place carry on?
Sad news, Jono. Thanks for the work you've done.
I would help if I could since I work in IT, but nowadays I mainly work in mainframe so we're talking technology from the 60's and I have little to no knowledge about PHP and the rest that is needed here.
Also, I just don't have the time.
Like others have mentioned, I'll definitely help fund the upkeep if you find someone external.

It’s unfortunate Dantes got banged up - he might have been able to solve this problem.
I can help.
Needless to say, I know fuck all about this shite, but should it get to the point where donations are needed, I'll throw in.
In a sense, I’m helping by not helping - because my IT skillz kind of fizzle out after I switch the bleeding computer on.
I can divert some of my wine purchasing funds to someone less technology retarded than me to work their magic.
Well - we need to see what we have in-house before we figure out if we need to go "out-house" or "take wine away from Stevo this year"
Is this the kind of thing we should be looking for?

If the cost of it running is in that ball park (10-20 a month) it seems a no brainer - either funded by donations or we find a way to game ad revenue e.g. set up some affiliates or ad loaded pages (maybe one sub forum with ads) that we work out a way to monetise to that level?
Seems easily funded though - and without asking people on the forum to give up time that would be much more valuable than that.

Hang on! There's a substantial dollar value attached to this installation....
I'm ok to give up some time. I might not be tech noused up, prone to the occasional drunken rants (over 3 years since then happily) but I do love this place. So from me I am happy to commit - Certainly be better if there were a few of us though. I guess it is like losing a galleon and finding a knut but the offer is there
