#Mastodon 4.2 is rolling out across the social web! On our quest to make Mastodon more delightful and easy to use, we've overhauled search, sign-ups, cross-server interactions and a whole lot more:

Mastodon 4.2

In this massive update we've added search and removed friction. What's not to love?

@Mastodon Our instance runs under docker. I tried upgrading our instance and had to roll back. It blows up with "ThreadError: can't create Thread: Operation not permitted". As near as I can tell, this version needs docker 20.10.10 minimum, and we're on 20.10.7 (yeah, I know we're way out of date. It's not easy to update a prod instance when you're a small operation).

@keiko I had that myself.

Probably not the best idea but I fixed that ruby error by adding:

privileged: true

to the sidekiq streaming and web container entries and it then worked.

I figured it was something about the versions in use & at some point I need to upgrade the server I'm running on as it's an old (now) distro

@peter I saw that suggestion and wasn't willing to give that permission. I'll figure out how to upgrade to a later version of docker.

Thanks for pointing it out for others, though.

@keiko @Mastodon I am also on docker and rollback to 4.1.9
