NOW WASH YOUR HANDS.
Hello everyone! We run mastodon.scot as a free service because we love Mastodon and the fediverse, but it costs us money! Once a month we reach out with an appeal to our users for donations to help with our running costs. Even small donations are a great help, and all donations are very much appreciated!

Hi everyone! Our migration went reasonably smoothly but not perfectly.
Our first attempt to backup and restore the (compressed) 24GB* of core Mastodon files and databases failed. We tried again with uncompressed data and the migration worked perfectly.
The whole process took just over an hour.
The instance should now be more responsive, and we have plenty of room for future growth.
* Our media is stored in external object storage totalling around 600GB, but didn't have to be moved.
Hello everyone! A reminder that we'll be offline tomorrow (Wednesday) morning from 10am GMT. We're moving to a new server which will keep us running smoothly into the future 🙂
Hopefully this shouldn't take more than an hour, it just depends how long it takes to move the data.
If you have any issues connecting after the upgrade try clearing your DNS cache, as we'll be on a new IP address.
HEY THERE. We've updated to v3.1.2 of Mastodon and that can only be a good thing, right?
Oh hullo there!
We've upgraded to v3.1.1 of Mastodon which resolves a minor dependency issue in v3.1.0
HI EVERYONE AND ALSO HELLO.
We've just upgraded to Mastodon v3.1.0
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.1.0
Enjoy!

Hello! We've upgraded to Mastodon v3.1.0rc2 which fixes the thing that confused us when upgrading to v3.1.0rc1 yesterday.
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.1.0rc2
🎉 First release candidate for #Mastodon 3.1.0 is out for testing:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.1.0rc1
There are security-related fixes, improvements of admin functions like search by IP, announcements, bookmarks, and more.
We're now updated to the latest version of Mastodon, v3.1.0rc1
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.1.0rc1
The upgrade took longer than expected because of this issue:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/12993
So actually most of the 1hr+ taken to upgrade was me scratching my head, rather than anything that slowed down or interrupted the server 😉
