Lemmy.ml v0.19 upgrade issues and downtime. (lemmy.ml)

In anticipation of Lemmy's upcoming 0.19 release, and to work out any final issues, we're going to deploy a test release on lemmy.ml within the next few days.

We're doing this testing on lemmy.ml only, so that we can encounter any issues before the release, and to make sure the upgrade process is smooth for other production servers.

Some of the following will happen during the process:

  • Apps will likely break (only for lemmy.ml)
  • Lemmy.ml may experience some downtime for the upgrade to complete (ideally no more than an hour).
  • If anything goes wrong, we may have to restore from a database backup, meaning content made in between backups may be lost.

If all goes well, we'll have an official announcement for the release after this testing period.

I apologize for the difficulties this might cause. At most this will be a week of hair-pulling, but its vital that we catch any issues before telling other servers to upgrade.

Nope, I only have a lemmy.ml account, and I only use librewolf on the desktop...

I had that issue of having to re-login, and then every now and then when I do reload, it posts not on my subscribed communities as if I were not logged in, although I'm logged in, but on a subsequent reload, then only my subscribed communities posts show up. I haven't had to re-login again, just after the upgrade, and then the other minor annoyance is that, but a subsequent reload is enough...

Pff, I just got logged out on a refresh, hehe. So what I said is not true, I'm getting logged out, somehow randomly (can't say I know under which conditions that happens). Not sure if there was a release candidate upgrade, since I can't remember the version before this new logout. Currently:

UI: 0.19.0-rc.11
BE: 0.19.0-rc.10
