Edit : OK so the outage was less brief than expected. The upgrade of the 3GB pictrs database took over 1 hour, and the version 0.4 database is now 14.5 GB… But anyway, it seems to be working alright now!
We will upgrade pictrs today, from 0.3.1 to 0.4.4. This will enable us to switch to S3 storage later on, and is needed for more anti-CSAM tools. Outage should only involve picture uploads, and should be brief.
Awesome that pict-rs has postgres and full s3 support now. Lemmy is getting really scalable!
I think the postgres support will come in 0.5?
How will the postgres support look like? They are not storing actual images in the database I hope?
No. Just like now , they store the metadata there, the images are on disk or S3
Very good, thank you.
Ah, right. I was aware of the ability to use S3 for 0.4, but this post made me go check out Asonix’s Forgejo. The fact that you can get rid of sled in 0.5 and go fully stateless/scalable is a game changer.
