The database migrations took a while which meant about 10 minutes of downtime between 9:09pm and 9:19pm NZT. But the site is now up and hopefully running OK. Let me know if you see any issues. I'm hoping this will lead to a more stable site, but one big issue still hasn't been resolved so I can't promise anything.

And since we're doing an announcement post, here's a couple of things to check out that I never officially announced:

Voyager (previously called wefwef) is a web app for Lemmy intended to resemble the Apollo reddit app. You can use any instance but we have our own hosted at voyager.lemmy.nz
mlmym is an alternate frontend intended to resemble the old reddit theme. As far as I can tell, this is specific to an instance, so will only work for people with a lemmy.nz account (but other instances have their own version, such as lemmy.world). You can access this frontend at old.lemmy.nz

These are both set to auto-update, so please let me know if an update breaks things because I can roll back to a previous version manually.

Nice! Will be interesting to see a graph of server load & database size etc. to see the impact of the changes

This would have been easier if I had thought of it beforehand 😀

@idanoo@lemmy.nz I can only see the last hour's stats in proxmox, is that all it's saving or are you able to go back further and show the before/after CPU load (the update happened just after 9pm tonight)?

Right! Here is the load over the past day an a half or so. It graphs the average every 30 mins:

This one shows the same thing but with maximum load over the 30 minute slots:

The peaks between 1am and 4am are parts of the backup process happening.

The upgrade was done at 9:09 last night. It looks like there might be a difference but perhaps we need a bit more time to see the average.
