I decided to make a real-name account for my it stuff on hachyderm.io. But as they currently have manual checks for sign ups (thanks spammers!), I'm tempted even more to selfhost... (but noone then knows the instance 😕).
#selfhosting

you've convinced me.... (honestly,I just wanted to make sure nothing was going to blow up!)
upgrading in the background now….wish me luck!
#SelfHost #Debian #MastoAdmin #Mastodon

Mastodon Admin self hosters who are installed on standard Debian!
Have you moved to Debian 13/Trixie?

Getting a 3Gb fibre upgrade tomorrow morning from Telus! So there will probably be some downtime for internet connectivity for all the various things but it should all be back up and running by noon.

Just looking at the sidekiq stats to see how things cleared out. All in all, Not bad for a 2008 iMac.
#footiMac #Mastodon #Debian #Trixie #MastoAdmin #selfhost

success! Upgraded #footiMac to Debian 13/Trixie and brought Mastodon along for the ride.
Had a few hiccups...
1) I upgraded elasticsearch and ended up having to clear out its cache files as it didn't want to 'upgrade' them itself.
2) postgresql 15 and 16 are still running in the background and needed new timezones in their configs.
3) Charlock_holmes ruby gem was unhappy (as noted in recent Mastodon release notes) and needed: bundle install --force to actually get it to install again.
4) libvibs is not happy either, so I turned it off in the config file. This seems to be an ongoing issue.
Once those things were found and fixed, it all came back up.
Phew! Wonder what else broke lol
