@codewiz probably there are but I don't host hundreds of thousands of small instances :)
Still, there is no need to host everyone in the same servers. For example one can have 50 instances on a server and have another 50 in another. This way one can have independent resources.
I am not using orchestration but custom built scripts to manage the hosting.

@borup Hello, the customisation available is via the Mastodon administration interface. So, besides the standard instance settings, you have the Custom CSS option to do some changes to the design.

@jonne Yes, if they continue to develop and support the release it is something I might consider in the future.

@ryetoast @20thcenturywmen there is no limits on the number of users but on resources available. If you want to read more about it, have a look here: https://masto.host/sidekiq-and-web-limits/

@selea thanks for sharing, I will look into it @admin

Upgrade finished!

All instances hosted on Masto.host are now running v2.9.2

Any issues please let me know.

Thanks 🐘

I will be starting the upgrade to Mastodon v2.9.2 now.

Instances will go down for less than 1 minute.

You can read the changelogs here:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.1

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.9.2

@Tyrent yep and it’s not easy to explain :/ any questions let me know

@Tyrent I recommend you read this https://masto.host/sidekiq-and-web-limits/ and let me know if you have any questions

@tom79 tomorrow will upgrade to v2.9.2 because there was an issue with v2.9.1 so I ended up waiting.

@rio yes, thank you. I still have not upgraded to v2.9.1. I usually wait 24 hours before upgrading to avoid this kind of issues.
All going well tomorrow I will upgrade to v2.9.2 that already fixes that issue.

@kyzh Currently I am not offering dedicated hardware support. So, unfortunately I will have to decline. Sorry.

@hugo no there is no archiving. Please double check and let me know if there’s a problem.

@liaizon my issue with other releases is not so much interest but stable releases. For example GlitchSoc doesn't have information about tested/stable releases. The latest release listed on their GitHub is from 2017 https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/releases and it doesn't have information on what changed and what is suggested to do to upgrade. If it was a fork with tested and stable releases I could consider it.

@operator I implemented CloudFlare to CDN media files because I was getting reports of latency from the Object Storage in France to locations around the work. I can easily disable it for an instance, so if you want to try that it's not a problem for me, just let me know.

@operator thank you for explaining the issue.

It never happened to me personally and I only got reports about that when someone is using TOR but it’s possible they mess that up.

I can disable CloudFlare from your images without a problem but depending on the location of access it can make the load times of a page slower. Still, do let me know if you want me to disable it for your Mastodon instance.

@operator I don't have any problem loading images on social.datsemultimedia.com. So, the problem must be on your end. If the issue continues please let me know.

@_ all instances on Masto.host run the main Mastodon release. Only features available on that release can be available on Masto.host

Finished the upgrade!

All instances hosted on Masto.host are now running v2.9.0

Any issues please let me know.

Thanks 🐘

I will be starting the upgrade to v2.9.0 for all Mastodon instances hosted on Masto.host.

There should be less than 1 minute of downtime.
