It took a bit, but finally got around to upgrading to 0.18.5.

The upgrade was relatively smooth. The Ansible scripts did have an update that was incompatible with the underlying server, but they weren't necessary, so I excluded them.

Success!

Well, I had a slight hiccup during the upgrade process. You see, I recently reformatted my computer and one of the steps during the ansible setup is that it autogenerates a password for the Postgres database. The original password went the way of the dodo along with everything else when I reformatted. So, I got to learn how to manually change the password in the Postgres db.

Kbin does not play well with Cloudflare proxies, so switching to non-proxied mode.

Let me know in this thread if you see any issues.

This should hopefully be a quick change.

This is a pretty exhaustive list of all the available Lemmy apps.

The ALL tab may be sparsely populated for a bit. I'm in the process of having subscriber_bot unsubscribe from communities, then purging the communities that aren't subscribed to. Once that's all done, subscriber_bot will resubscribe to communities that match the criteria.

This is probably slower than just burning the whole thing to the ground and restarting, but I wanted to see how viable it was.
