Oh happy day!

This newbie #sysadmin is VERY HAPPY because in less than 5 minutes I:

  • installed tmux (thank you for the recommendation & instructions @teapot_ben and @drfyzziks)

  • upgraded PeerTube from Terminal using tmux

now the stakes weren't super high because I did this for my second VPS which is running test apps... the real challenge will be to do this on my primary VPS and my in-production PeerTube instance.

Grabbing another coffee, taking a VPS snapshot and trying this.

As always THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. I couldn't do this without you πŸ’–β€‹

Oh but the larger point in this message was to vouch for tmux - it really is super beginner friendly. I know NOTHING and I was able to easily install it and use it. So you could recommend it to your normie friends for sure β˜ΊοΈβ€‹

SUCCESS!!! πŸ₯³β€‹

I was finally able to upgrade my #YunoHost #PeerTube installation (thanks to the advice of Fedi people).

Long story short, yesterday I tried to upgrade using YunoHost's graphical user interface but I lost the connection to the server, my PeerTube installation broke and was automatically removed from my list of apps. I could restore to the pre-update backup but my PeerTube site was still broken, showing a "welcome to nginx" message. Thankfully I had taken a snapshot of my VPS, so I was able to restore everything within a few minutes.

Following my accounts of what happened, @teapot_ben and @drfyzziks recommended I install tmux and do app upgrades from terminal, inside tmux, so that server connection issues wouldn't interfere with app upgrades. So I did. And this time everything worked! (huge sigh of relief)

It's so much fun upgrading YunoHost apps from Terminal. I think this will be the way for me from now on πŸ€—β€‹
