Migration notes

Upgrading

To upgrade to v0.21.1 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.

  3. Pull the new docker container with docker pull docker.io/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.21.1 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).

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.

v0.21.0: Sacrilegious Sloth

Compare Source

Here's version 0.21.0 of GoToSocial! Sacrilegious sloth! 🥇 🦥

We're really proud of this one, the sloth is starting to feel really useable and good! We're getting somewhere!

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

Release highlights

  • Domain Limits: You can now create domain limits in the admin section of the settings panel, in order to do things like limit + mute all accounts on a domain (except ones you follow), add content warnings to posts from limited domains, mark media as sensitive (or don't download it at all).
    Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/domain_limits/
  • Indexable support: You can now mark your account as "indexable" by full-text search, in the settings panel. This will federate your preference to other servers, so that servers with full-text search functionality can include your posts in search results.
    Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#mark-accounts-posts-as-full-text-indexable
  • Show reblogs on the web view of your profile (opt-in): A new setting in the settings panel allows you to opt-in to showing posts that you've boosted/reblogged on the web view of your profile. The default setting retains existing behavior (don't show boosts on the web view).
    Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#include-boosts-on-the-web-view-of-your-profile
  • Better caching behavior for timelines. The number of database calls when browsing local + public timelines and lists should be significantly reduced.
  • Store + show reason for undownloaded media: When media fails to be downloaded from a remote instance, the reason why will be shown next to the post.
  • Include canQuote property on outgoing posts: Currently, this is always set to author-only, but it paves the way (and signals intent) for GtS to implement quote toots at some point.
  • Much improved OpenGraph previews: Whitespace is now preserved in OpenGraph previews, and media + formatting was rejigged, so linking to GoToSocial posts should result in much better OpenGraph-generated preview cards.
  • Expand/collapse all spoilers button on web view of threads: when viewing threads in the web view, you can now expand/collapse all spoilers at the click of a button.
  • S3 Object Info Caching: you can now configure cache.s3-object-info in order to mitigate expensive S3 info calls when doing nightly media cleanup.
  • Preserve significant whitespaces in incoming + outgoing posts: previously we were squashing a lot of whitespace together, which meant that, for example, indentation could get lost on posts federated into a GoToSocial instance. This is now fixed, so you can post poetry and whatnot without worrying about it looking like hot crap.
  • Millions of fucking bugfixes: we squashed a lot of them!

Database Migrations

⚠️⚠️⚠️

This release contains several database migrations which will run the first time you start up this new version.

Be sure not to interrupt this migration process.

This will take anywhere between a couple seconds and twenty minutes or more (on slower hardware).

Please be patient!
