Trouble Man @wolfteeth@mastodon.social

just fyi, i moved my main over to @wolfteeth@mellified.men, which is the best place to find me for now. at least at times when i am not utterly failing at the job of running an instance, haha. i like .social but i kinda prefer a smaller community! just personally.

as mellified is back up, thus sunsets my visit to .social. see you next time i have to do an annoying manual sysadmin thing over there

running mastodon out of docker is easier, except when it isn't. still working on it

having some trouble with the db restore. doing some troubleshooting, so it will be a bit longer. sorry folks!

backup completed. moving forward with the rest of the upgrade process now

still pulling the database backup. may still be a while, the little VPS is chugging along.

after that we will need to import it into the updated database, and then perform the actual upgrade (which will be short and sweet). thanks for being patient

mellified is down right now as we do all of the database version migration for the mastodon v3.5 upgrade.

still processing the permissions fix. again, a lot of media in there. sorry again for being down for so much longer than anticipated. i guess we were due for it, since things had been going pretty smoothly for a while. this is just a whole lot of waiting but hopefully when it finishes, we'll be able to come right back up. sidekiq man will have some hard work to catch up

morning update. it looks like the ACL setting job didn't get everything, so i'm rerunning. keeping an eye on it

ran into a weird issue with all our media transferring with the wrong ACL (oops). running a job to fix it now. i think i'm going to have to leave this overnight to finish. sorry folks. will get things up and running again tomorrow morning!

we're getting close! once it's done i plan to bring the server up and do a quick sanity check🤞🤞🤞

we are about halfway through the media transfer

okay! i'm in the process of doing the media synchronization. i did an initial sync a day or so ago, so it should only need to transfer new stuff, but it's still chugging along pretty slowly. this will definitely take a while

just fyi, i moved my main over to @wolfteeth@mellified.men, which is the best place to find me for now. at least at times when i am not utterly failing at the job of running an instance, haha. i like .social but i kinda prefer a smaller community! just personally.

if any mutuals wanna join, sign up and toss me your email address so i can enable your account

i set up an instance - dunno how well it'll scale even for small numbers of users but! i'm over at @wolfteeth@mellified.men

i spent my evening making a simple static html page for the first time in years and it is in fact profoundly satisfying
