[Update: Failed again] Update to 0.18.1-rc.1 tried and rolled back (lemmy.world)

We've upgraded lemmy.world to 0.18.1-rc.1 and rolled back that upgrade because of issues.

(If you had posted anything in those 10 minutes between upgrade and rollback, that post is gone. Sorry!)

The main issue we saw is that users can't login anymore. Existing sessions still worked, but new logins failed (from macos, ios and android. From linux and windows it worked)

Also new account creation didn't work.

I'll create an issue for the devs and retry once it's fixed.

Edit Contacted the devs, they tell me to try again with lemmy-ui at version 0.18.0. Will try again, brace for some downtime!

Edit 2 So we upgraded again, and it seemed to work nicely! But then it slowed down so much it was unuseable. There were many locks in the database. People reported many JSON errors. Sorry, we won't be on 0.18.1 any time soon I'm afraid..

I’ve found from hopping around some other instances that have upgraded to 0.18 that it is still pretty buggy. It does seem to be giving more information about the errors, instead of just failing like in 0.17, but spend any time browsing on those instances and you’re bound to be inundated with JSON and query errors. It also seems to get worse the longer you browse.

The UI changes are nice, and I do appreciate not having my feed auto-updating constantly, but I think you’d be making the right choice to hold off on upgrading until they can iron 0.18.1 out all the way. I’m not super knowledgeable about TS and Rust, but as a user it seems that switching from WebSocket created/shined a light on Lemmy’s issues with caching in general.

Seems good for me too!

[–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'll admit this is probably something I can Google, but is there any scale-out options for a given Lemmy instance, or is it designed to be hosted in a single server?

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (9 children)

After the update I can no longer log in or interact with Jerboa. Hopefully y'all resolve this soon, as I am really digging Jerboa, but thanks for letting us know what's going on, and keeping up the good work.

[–] jetsetdorito@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've been using Jerboa since I joined a few weeks ago, I haven't been liking any of the other clients so far, but today I tried thunder and I'm enjoying it more than Jerboa

Thanks!

the work you've done in the last month is incredible. I hope you can get some rest in between bursts of carrying the instance on your shoulders

[–] BlueN1te@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So how does this work..is there a beta server to try it on? Or it worked in resting and it only broke with the full amount of users?

[–] notavote@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, there are three testing servers, but errors still do happen. especially when everyone is in a hurry to release

[–] Shadywack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Running one of the largest and most vibrant Lemmy instances certainly makes this deployment a great test case for the devs and the system overall. @ruud@lemmy.world this community really appreciates you!

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you for all your efforts.

[–] noXi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It seems that my Hot feed has been stuck for the last day or two.

Is this upgrade because removing websockets broke captchas for the sign up process?

Could they just put a page in front of the signup on the webserver with the captcha that needs to be passed first?

[–] kylian0087@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

thanks for your hard work ruud!
