For the last 2 weeks I've been running a "fun to play around with" Glitch-soc Mastodon instance on a former work laptop that they didn't want back :bloblaugh: Purged Windows and setup Linux server, attached a SSD and boom! Unfort the disk is only ~300GB is not much wiggle roomIt's running quite smooth, except for some 'DNS issues' at the start, maybe IP ban or something🤔Been using my single letter domain 'u.fail' for this btw if anyone is interestedThink we'll go with Glitch on mstdn soon

@stux The question: does it break client apps compatibility? :bulbasaurroll:

@ssamulczyk Nop! All will be the same except for more toot chars, and some other sm0ll extras, mostly on the web UI

@stux specific features you’re preferring over mainline?

@stux I can stand behind more characters. It was easy to fit into 1 toot at the beginning, but now I constantly have to divide my toots into smaller ones or redact to make it in the limit...😂

@andypiper I kinda like the option to set a little longer post limit 😉(env vars within glitch)Otherwise I have seen a lot of improvement in the glitch-soc specific FE "theme panel". It's something small but can be very handy! :ed_grin: For smaller instances the optional option to add boosts and/of replies to public timelines can also be a big win! (not for us though)Otherwise I am totally in love with 'vanilla' 😉 This just gets requested a looad

@stux yeah, I understand the post limit configurability being useful, for sure. Just being curious, thanks for sharing what you’re enjoying in there!

@andypiper It's just some super small things and could be easily changed within the code ofc but since Glitch is so very well maintained it's safeMost welcome! :cat_hug_triangle:

@stux look it up on my instance it's below the version note You can see it in action there, too.But in general it's https://github.com/nileane/TangerineUI-for-MastodonNote that the installation for glitch-soc differs from that for vanilla Mastodon, but it's easy. Only thing that confused me about glitch-soc at first is that there are no tags and that you're just basically on the main branch and check out there. They have a permanent issue open for when something with breaking changes is added though so that should be fine when updating since it's basically as far as I have understood it just git fetch, pull, restarting sidekiq, reloading web and done. (Unless anything breaking is introduced and noted). Not yet sure if my guess in that regards is 100% correct but I think so 😂Oh and my instance is using the purple variant of that theme since it's very close to the vanilla UI but with tweaks. Character limit is set to 4000 chars on my instance and it's working fine with all apps I tested. :verified_blobCat:

@brayd Migrations are stored in that folder when pulling code 😆 And for FE just run recompile, if nothing has changed nothing happens otherwise you'll get new compiled assets

@stux ok so to be always on the safe side you can just always recompile assets in the process and you should be fine then? 😂I read that sometimes it may be needed to restart streaming. When is that the case?

@brayd Correct!Personally I almost always restart all services, just for a "refresher"! Can't really hurt except for a few seconds of downtime

@brayd Most welcome!And ofc the most important of them all..backup your database before migrations, always :blobcatgiggle: I've never had an issue with Masto migrations but you don't want to get in such a situation

@stux yes I have a Borg backup script that's backing up all important stuff and in the process it does a DB dump. That thing runs every hour. So even if I forget that I would loose not more than one hour in the worst case. But I'm going to document the steps including the DB backup 👀
