Right so I'll scream into the void the issues while updating mastodon from 4.4.0-alpha ot 4.6.0-alpha (both are chuckya fork)

I had an old version of yarn and when I ran apt update I got an error regarding a pgp file or something

I commented out the single line in /etc/apt/sources.list/yarn.list or something and then I stopped getting errors when running apt update.

Newer mastodon needs redis 7 I only had redis 6. Ubuntu 24.04 has redis 7 so I just updated to that.

You also need node 20.x or higher

I run

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_20.x nodistro main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

This will update the source node pulls from

after running git fetch/pull chuckya main

I needed specifically ruby 3.8.0 not the newist 4.0.1 so reinstall the rbenv is typically what I do

ran bundle install && yarn install

I get this error

LoadError: Could not open library 'vips.so.42': vips.so.42: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. (LoadError)

this one I vaugely remember running into this while on my phone. There is literally no documentation or issue reports for this error, but it's basically yarn/ruby/bundle/or whatever dude I don't care what it is, is expecting vips to be installed on the system as a basis for the ruby gems.

I tried apt install libvips|libvips42 both don't work on ubuntu 24.04

The correct package is libvips42t64 (literally wtf) but that won't work either

I needed to run the following to add the package

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble universe"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates universe"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-security universe"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libvips42t64

That finally worked and progressed me further than I had been when I tried updating via my phone.

when I ran a bundle rails exec rails assets:precompile

I got a bunch of errors regarding the styles/tangerineui* javascript. So I just deleted them (I'll fix it later)

While running RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate

I got stop errors regarding

PG::DuplicateColumn: ERROR: column "parent_status_id" of relation "conversations" already exists (PG::DuplicateColumn)

Which is some database shit that just says something already exists but is trying to create it again.

I went into psql like so

sudo -u postgres psql mastodon_production
INSERT INTO schema_migrations (version) VALUES ('lmao') ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING;
\q
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate:up VERSION=lmao

And then the rest of the upgrade went fine. I probably left out something but it's not like anyone is reading this anyway
