[Update: Failed again] Update to 0.18.1-rc.1 tried and rolled back (lemmy.world)

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..

In the meantime I've migrated over to Connect for Lemmy on Android, and it is working significantly better than Jerboa did.

Finally got signed up, had to change my username for some crazy reason.

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

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

create post UI:

expanding the menu messes up the header:

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

[–] [email protected] 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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If you're running a small server it's pretty straightforward and hands-off. It's only when you get to the scale of these larger instances that you run into issues. I just rerun ansible every time there's an update and it otherwise just manages itself.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Lovin is easy

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

@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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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