superseriousbusiness/gotosocial v0.21.0-rc3

on Codeberg

Here's the second release candidate for v0.21.0 of GoToSocial.

What happened to rc2 you ask? Shhhhhhh. Shh. Shush. It's okay. Don't worry about it.

For instructions to update to this release candidate from versions < v0.21.0-rc1, see the v0.21.0-rc1 release candidate notes, but replace v0.21.0-rc1 with v0.21.0-rc3 throughout.

To update to this release candidate from v0.21.0-rc1, just follow the instructions below.

Release highlights

• Fix some buggggggggggggsssssssssss.

Migration notes

Upgrading

To upgrade to v0.21.0-rc3 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:0.21.0-rc3 or docker pull docker.io/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest if this is a stable release and not a release candidate.
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

No changes since rc1.

Database Migrations

No migrations since rc1.

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.
