Upgrade notes

Other additional steps are likely to apply, please carefully read the upgrade notes for the skipped releases.

As always, make sure you have backups of the database before performing any upgrades. If you are using docker-compose, this is how a backup command might look: docker exec mastodon_db_1 pg_dump -Fc -U postgres postgres > name_of_the_backup.dump

Non-Docker

1. Pull the code: git fetch && git checkout v3.4.9
2. Precompile the assets: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
3. Restart mastodon-web and mastodon-sidekiq:
   systemctl reload mastodon-web
systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq

Docker

The exact steps depend on your setup, but they are likely to match the following:

1. Pull the code: git fetch && git checkout v3.4.9
2. Pull the prebuilt images: docker-compose pull, or, alternatively, build them yourself: docker-compose build --pull
3. Restart all Mastodon processes: docker-compose up -d
