We are upgraded to the latest and greatest after some head scratching errors. But I got it done. Thanks to the help in the matrix chat for instance admins.
So if anyone is searching for an answer later and happens across this message, here is how I fixed lemmy-ansible v0.18.0 upgrade from v0.17.4 if you get weird pictrs and lemmy-ui errors:
-
follow poVoq's advice and ensure your pictrs folder is owned by user and group 991 (run "chown -R 991:991 /lemmy/your.instance.tld/volumes/pictrs")
-
The pictrs database will migrate from v0.3 to 0.4, so give it 10 min and then reboot once or twice :) Seriously I did nothing else to fix my remaining errors. Quirky as all hell
