We've upgraded lemmy.world to 0.18.1-rc.1 and rolled back that upgrade because of issues.

(If you had posted anything in those 10 minutes between upgrade and rollback, that post is gone. Sorry!)

The main issue we saw is that users can't login anymore. Existing sessions still worked, but new logins failed (from macos, ios and android. From linux and windows it worked)

Also new account creation didn't work.

I'll create an issue for the devs and retry once it's fixed.

Edit Contacted the devs, they tell me to try again with lemmy-ui at version 0.18.0. Will try again, brace for some downtime!

Edit 2 So we upgraded again, and it seemed to work nicely! But then it slowed down so much it was unuseable. There were many locks in the database. People reported many JSON errors. Sorry, we won't be on 0.18.1 any time soon I'm afraid..

Thank you for all your efforts.

Posted after Edit 2.

I would like to manage my expectations. Yesterday we were looking at 0.18.1 being sent out in about week from the devs. Was 0.18.1-rc.1 what we thought they'd have ready? Do we still think the 7-10 day window is likely?

Sucks that you couldnt get it working yet, but there are bound to be problems at this scale.

Anyone have any resources for learning what running a lemmy server is like ? Seems pretty interesting

So how does this work..is there a beta server to try it on? Or it worked in resting and it only broke with the full amount of users?

Need to downgrade the UI I think? The frontpage is empty because the UI version is 0.18 while the backend is at 0.17.4.

Thanks again to all admins!

What changes does the new release candidate offer?

Is there any place that people can assist in trying to figure out issues?

[โ€“] ruud@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well you can either help the devs via their Github, or if you wanna help sysadmin the server I can send you a link to our Discord.

[โ€“] devopspalmer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the response, Going to look into the github/code side but I may reach out in the near future to help where needed. ๐Ÿ˜€

[โ€“] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Good luck next time. Thank you for your hard work & transparancy.

[โ€“] KreekyBonez@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

the work you've done in the last month is incredible. I hope you can get some rest in between bursts of carrying the instance on your shoulders

Not that we'd get them during maintenance but this is a good reason to have some kind of DM system.

FYI, my UI is currently a bit buggy after the second rollback.

create post UI:

expanding the menu messes up the header:

Dang, I updated Jerboa too hastily, time to figure out how to downgrade back to 0.34

[โ€“] Papanca@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I don't see version 0.0.34 unfortunately, but here are some options. I think apkmirror is a safe source. https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=jerboa

For the future; there are apps that can save your apk's, so you can always downgrade if necessary. Check out on f-droid for open source apps that you like. I have been doing this for years, because it happens quite often that an app version is buggy or they suddenly add annoying features and then you can instantly downgrade.

[โ€“] yads@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The only issue I'm having is the pop up when I open it. Otherwise it works fine, but I was already logged in.

@ruud Lemmy is empty for me right now. I was able to browse in 0.18.1, but it was really slow and tons of JSON problems.

[โ€“] necrxfagivs@mastodon.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@ruud I took the screenshot now (UI: 0.18.0
BE: 0.17.4)

After the update I can no longer log in or interact with Jerboa. Hopefully y'all resolve this soon, as I am really digging Jerboa, but thanks for letting us know what's going on, and keeping up the good work.

Disappointing to see progress stymied, but not surprised. Nothing worth doing is ever easy, is it?

[โ€“] BobbyBandwidth@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Lovin is easy

[โ€“] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So are we stable now? I lost some posts and comments this morning.
