Hi all, We will be attempting to migrate Pict-rs tomorrow starting at 1700 UTC. Between now and 1700, image uploads will be disabled to try and avoid any data loss. You will still be able to like, comment and post until then. During the upgrade window, Pict-rs will be offline, so viewing images might not work. In theory CloudFlares CDN cache should cover us during the window, but YMMV. Hopefully everything should go smooth, but we do our best to make sure we have backups!
You can monitor our site health at https://dash.lemmy.world and https://status.lemmy.world
We will post updates to https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld as well.
Cheers, LW Infra Team 💗
Update This change is done. Images are now hosted on S3 storage and uploads are re-enabled.
Love how openly you guys communicate about the management of LW. It’s interesting for anyone with an interest in self hosting things to see how you’ve scaled up. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much 💗
I saw “Pictrs Migration” and I thought was about to open a map porn post regarding the movement of ancient Scots.
Is this migrating from pict-rs to object storage or upgrading pict-ra from 0.4 to 0.5?
Guyz, what is Pictr? Is it like Imgur?
Also, [excellent]
Kind of like Imgur, it’s a barebones Image hosting server which is what Lemmy uses to serve images uploaded to the instance. It makes it easier otherwise people would need to use things like catbox or imgur itself to host images.
I do feel like support could be better with it though, like if it gave us an interface where we could access our images from our account, or at the very least one for admins.
Was wondering why I couldn’t upload anything. Well, 3 more hours to sleep in. Woo!
Congratulations on the move!
Is it amazon s3 storage? How much are we paying for it?
We are not using AWS S3, we try and keep costs down where it makes sense 😉
