Lemmy.ml v0.19 upgrade issues and downtime. (lemmy.ml)

In anticipation of Lemmy's upcoming 0.19 release, and to work out any final issues, we're going to deploy a test release on lemmy.ml within the next few days.

We're doing this testing on lemmy.ml only, so that we can encounter any issues before the release, and to make sure the upgrade process is smooth for other production servers.

Some of the following will happen during the process:

Apps will likely break (only for lemmy.ml)
Lemmy.ml may experience some downtime for the upgrade to complete (ideally no more than an hour).
If anything goes wrong, we may have to restore from a database backup, meaning content made in between backups may be lost.

If all goes well, we'll have an official announcement for the release after this testing period.

I apologize for the difficulties this might cause. At most this will be a week of hair-pulling, but its vital that we catch any issues before telling other servers to upgrade.

I appreciate that you going through this test period. I hope it all goes smoothly and that at least a few hairs remain on your heads by the end of this week. Good luck!

I got randomly signed out this morning, maybe this has something to do with that.

How much longer will it be before I can finally log in and use boost or liftoff. Is there a timeline for a fix? Both have been broken since the update.

[–] Communist@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately that's an issue for boost and liftoff to fix on their end.

Voyager on Android seems to be working fine. 👍

[–] mtchristo@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Cheers. hopefully other apps will catch up a soon as the upgrade gets implemented across the lemmyverse

[–] RFLEpicGamer@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why are images breaking?

[–] ticoombs@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago

Should be fixed. (It already got merged: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4213)

[–] kixik@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Is it normal that on an upgrade, users are forced to re-login?

I’m thrilled to be able to use 2FA now, because I’m able to get an otpauth URI to feed to pass!

When I look at my subscribed list, I see lots of posts for communities I am not subscribed to.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Open up an issue on lemmy-ui's github if you would.

When I vote on a story while not logged in, it silently fails on 0.19-rc8

I was about the blame one of the android apps developers for breaking comments.

edit: This one was written from a browser. Apps don't like this new version.

[–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, Infinity hates it. I've still got a Firefox browser app pinned that works fine though.

One problem is that a few communities, while they do show up in my subscriptions list, do not indicate that I am subscribed to them when I am on the community page (for example, !asklemmy@lemmy.ml is one of those communities where I noticed that issue, it mostly fluctuates between me being subscribed to the community or not). If it needs to be marked as an issue on GitHub, you can let me know.
