So, my instances have been offline for the better part of a month, and I haven't had a lot of time or energy to fix the problem I caused trying to update to 4.2.1.

At what point is it not worth restoring an instance and best to just start from scratch? I don't want to end up burning more domains and user names, but it's a question since a lot of that stuff doesn't get purged I don't think from other servers, specifically the encrypted keys and identity information.

Just could use some help if possible, thanks folks.

Didn't bother reading the whole thing.

The underlying misunderstanding of anyone who looks at anything Fediverse, not just Mastodon, is that it's like any of the centralized options. It's not.

Yes, you can connect and follow other people on other serves, yes their political ideas, no matter how extreme, will be there. But it's no different than X/Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, or anywhere else in that regard.

Where it is different is that it's something you or I can use to build our own community with our own ideas and leanings, and connect with or disassociate from those we don't want to.

Its a more interconnected version of the old Forum softwares, or Content Management System blogs like WordPress or Drupal.

 

I am trying to get my instances back online, but the new update made it where my multi-instance setup wasn't as easy to maintain. Not sure if I just need to add the information for the ports to the new streaming.service files like before or not, but wanted to try and get a Docker install going.

... It's not going well.

Everytime I start modifying the docker-compose.yml file as instructed since I am not modifing the code, and want elasticsearch enabled, I get key not found where expected line 2.

The white space rules for yml are kicking my ass and I don't care for it.

Any help either on this or just getting my old setup functioning properly would be appreciated.
