We'll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I've had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.

Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.

Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.

We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh.. it's July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let's hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.

TFW you run a small server with an open source social platform for shits any giggles and one month it explodes a thousandfold because of one greedy pig boy.

Heyo! Small update from someone who is watching the upgrade live; it's ongoing still. Seems like they are still facing some performance issues. So grab your popcorn and wait! 🍿 (Btw, i am not a sysadmin, just a moderator)

It's on a private discord server for instance admins and mods, so not for public. Sorry :)

[–] Rogue_General@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a moderator, who should I reach out to to receive an invite to the discord? I want to post a new forum game to one of the communities I mod for, but I'm holding off until I can be sure this update is stable.

[–] MrCenny@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It should be good now. The discord server is only for people who help moderate the instance itself, and not community mods. I help with the moderation part. If you have questions then you can ask in the !support@lemmy.world or !moderators@lemmy.world communities. Sorry :)

PSA from Admin Team: The update completed roughly two hours ago. Since that time, the Admin team (and other site admins) have been working on the noted performance issues. We believe we have found a solution, but we still need time to test this out. You may still see brief outages and differences in performance as we are testing different configurations. We are trying to prevent rolling back.

While I know this can be frustrating - especially today - please keep in mind we have a team of volunteer techies (from around the globe!) collaborating on this issue. It is an inspiring situation. Also keep in mind that lemmy.world is quite a bit larger (and more active than any other instance). As such, we are a bit of a β€˜test instance’ in regards to high volume requests. This is just part of the growing pain. We appreciate your understanding.

@ruud@lemmy.world will provide a debrief once we have completed testing.

It's working! Writing from jerboa.

Crossing my fingers for everything to work out well. I’m looking forward to being able to log into Jerboa.

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Me too! I miss Jerboa.

Can't you disable the post button within the upgrade progress? It's a shame to see posts to disappear due to it.

[–] innermeerkat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The best would be to redirect to a 502 for the duration of the migration. Better safe than sorry

[–] Mereo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think a static page page explaining to users that the server is being upgraded would be best.
