Mmmm got that memory use warning on the server. Going to reboot docker containers at 2:00pm EDT (in 53 minutes). Expect 10s of downtime.

Mmmm so I got impatient and did the reboot, all done!

In a half hour, will be going down for a quick server reboot to apply a frontend validation fix related to our custom 512 character limit. The code change is here: https://github.com/ashfurrow/mastodon/commit/007538b6d8148c4de90623ebb4918f79032dc93d

All done!

Going to apply a few more security updates in ten minutes. Shouldn't be more than 60s downtime.

Reboot done 🎉

Going down for a quick server reboot in a half hour to apply security patches.

I've got stats of user logins for mastodon.technology over the past year up in this blog post: https://ashfurrow.com/blog/a-year-of-mastodon-user-activity/

Sidekiq jobs look good, I fixed some CORS errors caused by nginx/S3 config problems, too.

Phew, okay! Glad that's all done :)

Oh and here are some graphs from DigitalOcean! You can see the server reboot too.

Okay! Upgrade to 2.4.0 is complete. I'll be monitoring things for a bit, but please let me know if you see anything unusual.

Good morning. Two maintenance windows to announce:
