The upgrade to GoToSocial v0.22.1 will begin shortly.
- Plan in place - I have a plan for how to conduct this upgrade and expect to take the instance down in 30 minutes.
(07:56 UTC — Aug 7)
- Making backup - The instance has been taken down and I am backing up the database. While waiting, I’m updating the instance configuration to what the new version needs.
(08:30 UTC — Aug 7)
- Starting migration - GoToSocial will now begin the actual migration process. This will take a long time.
(08:39 UTC — Aug 7)
- Breakfast is delicious - I’m having breakfast while waiting. I have a fresh curry puff! Pretty tasty. I’m also about to taste-test the soybean and chili pepper hummus I experimented with making last night.
(08:50 UTC — Aug 7)
- Migration halfway complete - The logs indicate being halfway 50% with what I believe is the longest migration action.
(10:38 UTC — Aug 7)
- Going to lunch - I am going to go eat lunch. The instance may come back up while I’m out, in which case there will be a little bit of uptime before I take it back down to do some quick database maintenance. (We’re currently sitting at 80% completion on the migration.)
(11:49 UTC — Aug 7)
- Migration finished - The main migration has just finished and the instance is back up! I will be taking it back down in a few minutes to do some last database maintenance, which will probably take somewhere around fifteen minutes.
(12:51 UTC — Aug 7)
- Database maintenance started - Giving the Postgres database some love to make sure it keeps running smoothly after such a big change. I’m guessing at 15 minutes but we’ll see. It’s worth the time, I promise.
(12:59 UTC — Aug 7)
- All done! - The instance should be back up.
I currently plan to do a more maintenance to enable some new features on Monday, which will involve very little downtime but possible slower performance for a day or two.
