...and phpc.social is back. Network issues at our host and it took them a bit to troubleshoot.

The 130GB backup has completed and is now being transferred to the new server. #SocialBC #MastoAdmin #ServerAdmin #BC #DigitalSovereignty

Seit der Version 4.5.0 von #Mastodon braucht mein Server deutlich mehr Traffic. Größenordnung etwa doppelt so viel. Haben andere #Mastoadmin das auch beobachtet?

phpc.social is now running Mastodon 4.5.5, released about a half-hour ago. #mastoadmin

Heads up: Our instance datasci.social will receive new hardware tonight and a rollout to Mastodon v.4.5.1, so there might be minor interruptions tonight. #mastoadmin

I'm off to bed while James continues! The backup transfer should complete by around 1AM, then the real migration and standup of the new server will take place.
If all goes super smooth, things might be up and running before I wake up around 8AM... or we might not. Fingers Crossed for smooth sailing and next updates in the morning!

Inquiring minds want to know. #mastoadmin

The #SocialBC migration has begun!
Backup is generating.
Updated the migration page... #MastoAdmin #ServerAdmin #BC #DigitalSovereignty

Not today!

That was slightly more drama updating to Mastodon v4.5.0 than I wanted.
The OS restarted while the database migration was in progress so I had to restore the database from backups.
Except this took some time because of the size of the database and the fact that the backup software I have for the #PostgreSQL server needs to rewrite the entire database to restore older versions.

currently updating to 4.5.1….

This message is intended for Canadian #Mastodon admins who are running public instances large and small. If you are an admin, please share with your counterparts. If you are a member of a Canadian instance, please send this to your admin.
A small group of us (Note: really, really small) are in early discussions on how to encourage our government - individual politicians & federal, provincial, and municipal departments - to move their social media presence to Mastodon. This would involve an awareness campaign targeting politicians, party HQs, and departments/agencies.
We are asking for input from admins to help us create a future state vision for this project, and provide us with advice or ideas on how to bring it to a reality. I will set up a web call within the next 3 weeks and hopefully you can participate. We are not asking you to contribute beyond input. Please DM me and I will add you to the invitees.

TIme to start the process of updating to Mastodon v4.5! Now that I've lightened the load on little #footiMac this should be a much quicker process than the past few updates!
Happy Updating!
