This weekend I'll be working to upgrade AZ to lemmy 0.19.4, which requires changes to some other back end supporting systems.
Expect occasional errors/slowdowns, broken images etc.
Once complete, I'll be making further changes to enable/tweak some of the new features.
UPDATE: one of the back end component upgrades requires dumping and reimporting the entire lemmy database. This will require ~1 hour of total downtime for the site. I expect this to kick off tonight ~9pm Perth time.
UPDATE2: DB dump/re-import going to happen ~6pm Perth time, ie about 10 minutes from this edit.
UPDATGE3: we're back after the postgres upgrade. Next will be a brief outage for the lemmy upgrade itself... after I've had dinner ๐
UPDATE34: We're on lemmy 0.19.4 now. I'll be looking at new features/settings and playing around with them.
pict-rs upgraded to 0.5... which is now performing its own backend update. No idea how long it will take... currently ~7%.
pict-rs backend update has some issues. Kept bombing out part way and restarting. Looks like I've sorted that now, so the update is progressing without stopping.
Next up will be an upgrade to postgres 16, which will require some site downtime.
pict-rs backend update is now complete. Image functionality should be pretty much normal again now.
damn looks like I'll have to go touch some grass then
