(Semi-complete) [Saturday, 5 pm UTC+2] Planned Maintenance Work and System Upgrade (Don't update Jerboa yet!) - FOSSware
social.fossware.spaceEdit 4: As you can see, we’re finally on version 0.18.0. Due to the ARM64
architechture, I indeed had to jump through some hoops. Lemmy’s documentation is
absolutely worthless, as well. I guess it’s been written by someone who didn’t
even test if the steps they describe actually work. But well, here we are. Some
images are not visible right now. Need to check out what’s going on here. — Edit
3: I kinda regret getting an ARM server for Lemmy now. Reverted my changes and
went back to 0.17.3 for now. I’ll either wait for an official 0.18.0 ARM64 image
or switch to a server on AMD64 basis. — Edit 2: Now fiddling with the system.
Please expect a couple outages over the next hour or two. — Edit: This is going
to be delayed, because I suffered a hefty migraine attack today and am still
very groggy now after it subsided. I’m sorry, I’ll most likely do this later
tonight or on Monday. — Hello everyone, as Lemmy version 0.18.0
[https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases] was released today, I’m planning to
upgrade this instance to it tomorrow during the day. ⚠️ An outage is to be
expected on Saturday at around 17:00 (5:00 pm) UTC+2 and may last from a couple
minutes at best to an hour at worst. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. 🤞 📱 If you’re
using the Jerboa Android application
[https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.jerboa/] to access FOSSware, we recommend
to NOT update it to the latest version until the server has been sucessfully
upgraded to Lemmy 0.18.0, as the latest version of Jerboa dropped support for
Lemmy 0.17.x. ❤️ I wish you all a great weekend! ::: spoiler Further Technical
Explaination This Lemmy instance runs within a Docker container on an arm64v8
host. Usually, Docker images are provided by the Lemmy developers for amd64 and
arm64, but an issue [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3102] seems to
prevent the arm64 Docker images from being created since Lemmy version 0.17.4.
This is also the reason why this instance is still running version 0.17.3. I’m
going to take some time and build this thing myself in order to upgrade this
instance, which might take some blood sacrifices, sweat and might also have me
to jump through some hoops on fire and whatnot. :::
