updates on ongoing work/learning
-
did admin task for user who wanted to reactive account
- learning containers, got a container up nicely yesterday
- will keep poking at our setup and trying to understand the ansible recipes
-
stuff we could do next
-
[[akshay mankar]] file bug in mastodon bug tracker for extra fields in the mastodon sign up form
- how do we handle user data in the long term? user data handling policy, etc.
- started writing the issue but then stopped to better understand how the solution would look like
-
perhaps we should have an instance to experiment with
- [[flancian]] we might have this -- need to check containers and docs
- if not we should create it :)
- mastodon already probably supports a good way to store information you got in the signup request, we could adapt it -- perhaps encode
- [[akshay]] the idea here would be to send a PR to upstream instead of forking/applying our own path.
- [[flancian]] this seems to raise the priority of updating the instance to latest mastodon
-
[[later]]
-
media issues?
- one user reported them
- [[akshay]] tusky sometimes show images as attachments
- [[flancian]] get 500s relatively often when trying to upload
- [[akshay]] images go to [[s3]] in [[digital ocean]]
- how do we look at logs?
-
[[backups]] and [[restore]]
- related to [[data management]] as well as we want to be careful/responsible with our user's data
- where can we put these backups in? how do we extend the list of acceptable servers?
- currently backups go to a [[s3]], but where to restore?
- how to make sure we don't mess up with the fediverse if we test restores?
-
also related to the issue of [[failover]] in mastodon -- how is it supposed to work?
- [[akshay]] you fail over the database, then frontends can all use the new primary
- you need to solve balancing for the frontend or manually fail over that as well
-
[[akshay]] not attending the next one
- [[flancian]] sent update in chat room:
