phpc.social is now running on Mastodon 4.5.3, released...less than ten minutes ago :). Got lucky with being at a stopping point when the update notification came across.

What actually is the mastodon upgrade path across minor releases, like v4.3.18 -> v4.5.6? The release notes generally mention only upgrades from the most recent patch release in the same minor (vA.B.n-1 -> vA.B.n). Are huge jumps safe, assuming the new minimum requirements are met? Are backwards-time forward-version (eg v4.3.18 -> v4.4.0) upgrades invalid? Are all intervening database migrations handled automatically at service startup? Any gotchas?

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?

currently updating to 4.5.1….

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
@ian@phpc.social2025-12-24 13:01:49
...and phpc.social is back. Network issues at our host and it took them a bit to troubleshoot.

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.

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!
