[Almost done... Update] Expected instance downtime for upgrading pict-rs (mander.xyz)

EDIT:

The pictrs migration is still taking place in the background, and there might be some problems displaying new or some old images, as well as a bit slower site performance. But it seems like the site can run well now.

The lemmy backend makes use of pict-rs for hosting images. A new version (0.5.0) was recently released, and upgrading from the previous version involves a migration that is expected to take a few hours.

I am planning to run that migration either tomorrow evening or on Saturday. If all goes well, the instance will be down for only a few hours.

Just a heads up in case you stop by and see that the site is unavailable.

Horrors upon horrors.

😅 I have read and re-read the migration guide. Seems simple enough.... And the current backup is almost ready!

Whenever I say that when trying to do a docker container, I feel like Sideshow Bob making friends with rakes.
