Ok so, main migration appears to have gone well enough.
PICTRS/media is not loading, in testing it did fine. So now I'll work on troubleshooting that aspect of Beehaw. For the time though, avatars and beehaw images won't be loading. That's expected for the moment,
Early days but the site seems orders of magnitude more responsive - not sure if its because of the new Lemmy version or because of reduced user activity from the migration but wow it is night and day
I think it's a combination. But kudos to the lemmy devs for improving the responsiveness of the front end for sure. It is a a noticeable improvement.
Congrats!
Cool. Now I can finally switch to better/more maintained app than the one I'm currently using.
Probably worth mentioning here that this upgrade removed my 2FA, so everybody may want to check and reapply theirs. The 2FA support appears to be less awful this time, at least.
Good call-out. 2FA in lemmy was entirely reworked and uses a different hash on the backend, so the migration removed all existing TOTP tokens. You'll need to read initiate the 2FA if you still want it after this upgrade.

Finally the bug which didn't allow to use the lower-than character < is fixed. Also a nice sideeffect is, the wrong unread-messages counter for my account is gone (2 was the new 0 for me). Both issues are gone. Thank you for the update.
Nice work. Took until about now for me to be able to upvote and post. Solid for a small org like beehaw!
Anyone have a change log?
Well done !
Oh, cool. Good luck!
One thing you may hit with the DB migrations is foreign key constraint errors in the community aggregates table. Or at least I did when I went from 0.18.5 to 0.19.3 (and again from 0.19.3 to 0.19.9). Basically there were community entries in the aggregates table that weren't in the communities table (or vice versa?)
But definitely be prepared to fight the migration scripts. I usually had to run the one(s) that failed, step-by-step, in a transaction and roll them back to figure out what's failing.
And once you're on 0.19.9, you can use Tesseract :P (I've got some nice mod tools you all might like).
Yeah, fighting with the DB has been about 70% of the delay in this process already. Other parts were dealing with pictrs and lemmy integration... still some things to be done, but I'm confident the migration will work well enough be have us operational on a newer version.
Yeah. Not sure if you all have a lot of custom stuff going on with pict-rs, but that's the one place I actually didn't run into issues. Mine's fairly simple and the only major thing I did was migrate it from the sled db to Postgres (which has been a HUGE improvement).
Best of luck! :D
Seconded!
