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.
🐝 mellified.men downtime (concluded)
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
🐝 mellified.men downtime
running mastodon out of docker is easier, except when it isn't. still working on it
🐝 mellified.men downtime
having some trouble with the db restore. doing some troubleshooting, so it will be a bit longer. sorry folks!
🐝 mellified.men downtime
backup completed. moving forward with the rest of the upgrade process now
🐝 mellified.men downtime
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.men is back
by all appearances, WE ARE BACK!!! with new and improved (??? well, cheaper anyway) media storage on digitalocean spaces
i still have a background job working on permissions for custom emoji, so those may not show up for a bit. other media should be working. please tell me if it isn't. here is a picture, just to prove it to you
🐝 mellified.men status
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
🐝 mellified.men status
morning update. it looks like the ACL setting job didn't get everything, so i'm rerunning. keeping an eye on it
🐝 mellified.men status
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!
🐝 mellified.men status
we're getting close! once it's done i plan to bring the server up and do a quick sanity check🤞🤞🤞
