ElasticSearch is back up at phpc.social, now with 1024MB of JVM heap space as lack of heap space was the issue. Full text search is re-indexing now in the background and will likely take all day to finish.
#MastoAdmin

phpc.social is now on Mastodon v4.4.5, released a little over an hour and a half ago.
We're aware of full text search issues due to ElasticSearch being cranky and will post another update when that's fixed.

RE: #mastoadmin

So.... anyone off the top of your head know the feasibility of migrating a Mastodon instance to a new domain name?
Is it generally better etiquette to run the 3-month decom rule and spin up a new clean instance, or do a DNS redirect?

I upgraded my mastodon docker installation from 4.4.6 to 4.5.0-beta.1. Now I'm on 4.4.7 🤔

#MastoAdmin
I'm running the latest code of the glitch-social Mastodon fork but don't seem to have the ability to quote-toot yet. Is there a config setting I need to enable?

Forgot to mention this earlier when I performed the upgrade but phpc.social is now on Mastodon v4.4.8. #mastoAdmin

#MastoAdmin #FediBlock ⬆️

phpc.social is now running Mastodon v4.4.4. Had to do a `yarn install` to get assets to compile, but other than that an uneventful upgrade ~5.3 hours after the release.
#mastoadmin

there's a specific fedi instance ending in .estate (you've probably seen it if you're a #mastoadmin or #fediadmin) that's been a hub for all sorts of problematic stuff. I have just sent an abuse report to:
- the domain registrar
- the nameserver operator, and

#MastoAdmin I just upgraded #postgresql from v17 to v18 without any problems !

Looks like I have this to investigate now because a warning is appearing on my admin dashboard. Whatever the problem is seems to affect Elasticsearch 7.17.23 and Mastodon 4.4.2 , because this never appeared on Mastodon 4.3.x and the suggested command only returns this error:
[400] {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"unknown setting [index.analysis] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"unknown setting [index.analysis] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings"},"status":400}
#MastoAdmin

phpc.social skipped Mastodon v4.4.6 (because I've been busy, and v4.4.7 landed shortly thereafter), and is now on v4.4.7.

#MastoAdmin PSA: I’ve been noticing many posts like this one below going around Fedi lately, and I suspect it may be a type of scam trying to promote that “global voice” account. https://social.boger.dev/@J/1151158024

I think maybe it isn't #mastodon that is slowing down and filling up #footiMac.
It's the 700GB of webcam images/videos.
Just bought a fast dual USB A/C 500GB flash stick to offload this stuff and lighten things up a bit.
This is stuff I need to archive anyway. I want to gradually build a physical USB stick based digital library of webcam imagery from the cams @….

phpc.social has been upgraded to mastodon 4.4.3, released about a half-hour ago. #mastoadmin

Ceci n'est pas ActivityPub.

Ok #mastoadmin #selfhost #S3 aficionados. I don’t have any experience with object storage providers. I am looking to move my self-host mastodon account here from local storage on my 2007 #footimac to my account at leaseweb. Could you help me with the answers to their queries? I suggested, completely off the top of my head and without experience, i would need 1.5TB and low bandwidth. Not knowing if that makes any sense.
“ for a 1.5 TB provision with low bandwidth usage, we can provide an estimate once we have more context on access patterns, regions, and any specific requirements.”
Thanks for any help!
