superseriousbusiness/gotosocial v0.19.1

on Codeberg

Here's version 0.19.1 of GoToSocial!

It's a bugfix release. We fixed some bugs. By which we mean we removed them from the sloth, and set them free. They can live their own happy lives now.

More importantly, it's the first release we've done via Codeberg rather than Github. Hurray! Kiss our arse, Microsoft!

If you're updating to this version from v0.19.0, it's a very easy update with no db migrations and just a few small config file changes :)

If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.19.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.19.0, but replace 0.19.0 with 0.19.1 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.19.x contains some long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!

Release highlights

• You can configure S3 lookup type now.
• description_limit added to /api/v2/instance response.
• Fix some outgoing messages issues that was causing stuff to sometimes not get sent properly (see #4097).
• Fix some settings panel bugs, make sure interaction policies page works properly with keyboard.
• Million billion docs + CICD changes.
• Added some more queer + trans rights to the code. Instance footer is now 100% gayer. That is, it contains pride and trans flags now. Folks in places where it is illegal / dangerous to show such flags can remove them by editing web/template/page_footer.tmpl and restarting the instance to reload the template.

Migration notes

Upgrading

To upgrade to v0.19.1 from a previous release:

Binary/tar

1. Stop GoToSocial.
2. Back up your database! If you're running on SQLite, this is as simple as copying your sqlite.db file, eg., cp sqlite.db sqlite.db.backup. On Postgres you can do this with pg_dump.
3. Download and untar the new release, including the web assets and html templates, not just the binary.
4. Edit your config.yaml file if necessary (see below).
5. Start GoToSocial.
6. Wait patiently for any migrations to run, do not interrupt migrations or you could leave your db in a broken state and will have to restore from backup!
7. Enjoy your updated instance.

Docker

1. Stop GoToSocial.
2. Back up your database! If you're running on SQLite, this is as simple as copying your sqlite.db file, eg., cp sqlite.db sqlite.db.backup. On Postgres you can do this with pg_dump.
3. Pull the new docker container with docker pull docker.io/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.19.1 or docker pull docker.io/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest.
4. Edit your config.yaml file or environment variables if necessary (see below).
5. Start GoToSocial.
6. Wait patiently for any migrations to run, do not interrupt migrations or you could leave your db in a broken state and will have to restore from backup!
7. Enjoy your updated instance.

config.yaml

The configuration file has changed since the previous release.

• Changed media-description-max-chars default from 1500 to 5000.
• Added storage-s3-bucket-lookup with a default value of auto.

You can see a diff of the config file here: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/compare/v0.19.0...v0.19.1#diff-cf8ca241b529962d30020f62ae2f54d5b46bcf47

Database Migrations

None since v0.19.0.

Which release archive/container should I use?

GoToSocial releases binary builds for 64-bit Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD operating systems. We also release Docker builds for 64-bit Linux.

nowasm

For your convenience, we also provide UNSUPPORTED, EXPERIMENTAL BUILDS, created using the nowasm tag, in the downloads list below. There is no Docker build for nowasm.

GoToSocial releases built with nowasm use the Go-native, modernc version of SQLite instead of the WASM one, and will use on-system ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries for media processing.

Using a nowasm build is currently the only way to run GoToSocial on a 32-bit system.

For more information on running a nowasm build, see the nowasm documentation page.
