Minor whoopsie for the day: Tried to update my Mastodon instance to the latest commit. Turns out that since about 2 weeks ago Mastodon ships with Sidekiq 7 which requires Redis 6.2. And Redis 6.2 is not available for Ubuntu 22.04 😬

So had to upgrade to 24.02, which was thankfully fairly painless...

So here a PSA for all the mastoadmins running on Ubuntu 22.02:

Don't update to the latest commits on main unless and until you also plan to upgrade Ubuntu…

On a totally unrelated note: Anyone got experience upgrading Postgres 15 to 17? Specifically for mastodon?

Good idea? Bad Idea? Easy? Hard?

#postgresql #mastoadmin

@michael Easy.

@ruud how would you do it? pg_upgradecluster?

@michael Never used pg_upgradecluster, I think that’s specifically for Ubuntu. But that does a pg_upgrade underwater, and that’s what I use. And with the —link option it’s very fast and doesn’t take any extra space. Just make sure you have a backup.

@ruud good to know. Thanks!
