Alright, if you can see this -- the Langoliers ate my last two days of posts.

:)

Welp, I tried to update to the latest version of YunoHost. It got most of the way through, then decided to fail regarding something about postgresql, which I have only the most tenuous comprehension of. It tried to sit halfway between YunoHost versions for a few minutes, while I attempted to get enough screenshots to ask for help on the forums.

Then it died. And took down the entire Digital Ocean droplet it was sitting on. I couldn't even SSH into it anymore.

So I restored the Digital Ocean droplet from a backup, and here I am, not knowing how I'm here exactly. Because now I can't even get to the YunoHost login page. It tries to load but then can't find the site.

Something is just tremendously wrong with the backend of this instance, and I'm not even able to find out what.

I have a backup ... somewhere... on Yunohost, if I could get back into there and re-download it, because that apparently didn't actually happen an hour ago.

I'll reinstall this whole shebang, I don't care. What I'm upset about is...my followers/following list. I don't have that.

And, to reiterate, I can't get in to the admin part of GoToSocial, either.

Basically what I can do...is post.

I can't fix, transfer, reinstall, repair, or even see the back end of my instance. But here I am, using it.

Tears in the rain, baby.
