This is a friendly notice that we're
going to be taking care of two things during a maintenance window on
beginning November 23rd at 00:00:00 UTC into November 24th. This work
will address some legacy issues with the database and allow us to make a
successful migration to Mastodon v4.2.xWe are currently running the v4.1.x branch which is still maintained and
supported, but of course does not have the new features that were introduced
in v4.2.xIn order to prepare the database for a successful migration we will require
the instance to be offline. In our non-production lab setup which mirrors
the current configuration this work requires approximately 18 hours to
reconcile inconsistencies in the very large 'accounts' table. Once those are
corrected the migration runs successfully. The reason why 'accounts' is so
large is that our instance began in April of 2017 and we're dealing with
1,310,608 known local and remote accounts. While not all of those accounts
are in use today it is our responsibility to preserve their integrity.We are highly confident that the maintenance and upgrade will run successfully
and have outlined the following for your reassurance:</a></label><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/system/media_attachments/files/111/423/493/022/491/138/original/d6aef9d753989566.png" rel="external">https://mastodon.sdf.org/system/media_attachments/files/111/423/493/022/491/138/original/d6aef9d753989566.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/1840910">* Full duplication of the existing database and fileserver RAID will be made
to new hardware preserving mastodon.sdf.org as it will be on Nov 23rd, 2023
at 00:00:00 UTC.* The database reconcile and migration to v4.2.x will then be performed on the
new harware, not the old hardware. It should also be noted that the new
hardware has several performance benefits such as a faster RAID, double the
number of cores and memory. It should out perform the lab environment.* In the unlikely event the migration cannot proceed we will simply bring
the v4.1.x site back online as it will be preserved as of Nov 23rd, 2023
00:00:00 and continue operating as is.Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make our way to the
exciting new features in Mastodon v4.2.x - This work will also allow for
easier migrations to future releases as well as improved day to day
maintenance and clean up of the database going forward.Your patience and continue use of mastodon.sdf.org is really all we ask.
While not at all required, support for our work can be made through donations
