*** SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ***
Tonight at 0:00, Mastodon Belgium & Mastodon Vlaanderen servers will be upgraded.
Plan of attack:
- Stop Mastodon services
- Upgrade & reboot media storage server
(this will take the most time as it will be filesystem checking ~1.5TB of cat pictures)
- In parallel: upgrade, shutdown, snapshot & reboot the DB server
When media storage is back:
- Shutdown, snapshot & reboot Mastodon servers, with Mastodon disabled
- Upgrade to Mastodon v4.4.1
- Restart all services
Heads up folks.
Shutdown in 15 minutes !
If all goes well, we should be back within the hour.
*** MAINTENANCE COMPLETE ***
Mastodon Belgium & Vlaanderen are now fully upgraded: backend servers patched and frontend servers rocking Mastodon v4.4.1 !
The DB server is still crunching through the database and might attempt to strangle me later, but all in all the upgrade went really well !
The goal was one hour but mediastorage took quite a while to check its filesystems.
And compiling Ruby etc took its time as well.
But WE'RE HERE !
