⬆️ Upgrade notes

⬆️ > As always, make sure you have backups of the database before performing any upgrades. If you are using docker-compose, this is how a backup command might look: docker exec mastodon_db_1 pg_dump -Fc -U postgres postgres > name_of_the_backup.dump

🐳 Non-Docker only:
- ⬆️ The minimum supported Node.js version has been bumped from 8 to 10. To upgrade Node.js, run curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash - and then apt install nodejs
- Install dependencies: bundle install and yarn install
🐳 Both Docker and non-Docker:
1. Run database migrations:
  - Non-Docker: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
  - Docker: docker-compose run --rm web rails db:migrate 🍱 2. Precompile the assets:
  - Non-Docker: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
  - Docker: The assets are already precompiled during the build step
2. Restart all Mastodon processes
Troubleshooting

⬆️ If you have problems accessing the Sidekiq dashboard after upgrading, log out and log back in.
