#Mastoadmins, anyone know what "bundle lock --normalize-platforms" actually does, and it is a problem?

I was advised to do this during the "bundle install" process (which I did), to fix a problem with "nokogiri-1.19.2-x86_64-linux-gnu", but I don't know why I need to do it.

It basically cleans up your Gemlock.file and makes sure that it is consistent with gems that are actually installed on your machine (e.g., -x86_64 vs -arm64).

@daniel @MastodonEngineering
Thanks! So nothing to be concerned about when running it?

@chewie

Nope. It only usually happens if you move between platforms but can also happen for “reasons”.

@MastodonEngineering

@MastodonEngineering Anyone know how we can find out which version our server is running? Our 'about' page says we're running 4.5.6, but that doesn't seem right. There's probably another more accurate way to check?
@fembot @MastodonEngineering the version is usually in the site footer, below the leftmost column
@MastodonEngineering Cheers! Just updated to it now.
