Here's the third (hopefully final?) release candidate for GoToSocial v0.18.0.

Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.

For instructions to update to this release candidate from versions < v0.18.0-rc1, see the v0.18.0-rc1 release candidate notes, but replace v0.18.0-rc1 with v0.18.0-rc3 throughout.

Release highlights

Compared to rc2:

  • Fixed a couple bugs
  • Batched migrations so they should run smoother and give more feedback to users
  • Adding forward-compatibility code for future Approval objects

Migration notes

Upgrading

To upgrade to v0.18.0-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.
  3. Download and untar the new release, including the web assets and html templates.
  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.

  4. Edit your config.yaml file or environment variables if necessary (see below).

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.
