We’ll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I’ve had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.

Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.

Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.

We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh… it’s July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let’s hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.

    Can’t you disable the post button within the upgrade progress?

    No. And I think the ability to put the site into read-only mode for upgrade shakedown, be it hardware, operating system, or Lemmy upgrade is important for Lemmy to get past these “growing pains”.
