Upgrade notes

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 only:

  • The recommended Ruby version has been bumped to 2.6.1. You can upgrade, or you can continue using the old version by overwriting the .ruby-version file with e.g. 2.6.0 or 2.5.3 which were recommended previously
  • Update rubygems: gem update --system
  • Install dependencies: bundle install and yarn install

Both Docker and non-Docker:

  1. Now that the new code is running, we can finish the database migrations. This will run the post-deployment ones:
    • Non-Docker: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
    • Docker: docker-compose run --rm web rails db:migrate
  2. Precompile the assets:
    • Non-Docker: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
    • Docker: The assets are already precompiled during the build step
  3. Restart all Mastodon processes
