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 2.7.2. You can upgrade, or you can continue using the old version by overwriting the .ruby-version file with e.g. 2.6.6 which was recommended previously
• Install dependencies: bundle install and yarn install

Both Docker and non-Docker:

⚠️ Scheduled tasks have been moved to a dedicated scheduler queue in Sidekiq. If you only run a single Sidekiq process with no custom queue selection, you don't need to change anything. If you customize Sidekiq processes/queues, ensure that there is exactly one Sidekiq process that runs the scheduler queue.

1. Run the pre-deployment database migrations by specifying the SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true environment variable:
   • Non-Docker: SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
   • Docker: docker-compose run --rm -e SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true 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
4. Clear cache:
   • Non-Docker: RAILS_ENV=production bin/tootctl cache clear
   • Docker: docker-compose run --rm web bin/tootctl cache clear
5. 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
6. Restart all Mastodon processes
