@rimu If you've got GIN indexes set up then you'll probably never need a different search solution

@aral At the risk of being a bore, this is where #NixOS is great, because you can upgrade any number of release versions in a single step, and roll back if it didn't work. Admittedly it's not for everyone, and certainly not officially supported by many VPS providers.

@flyinggecko @aral Yep, totally. And I've got a custom image on Linode, personally.
