Upgrade notes

Because this is a backport, it is not available with git pull. Use git fetch && git checkout v3.3.2

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

Dependencies

External dependencies have not changed compared to v3.3.1, the compatible Ruby, PostgreSQL, Node, Elasticsearch and Redis versions are the same, that is:

• Ruby: 2.5 to 2.7
• PostgreSQL: 9.4 or newer
• Elasticsearch (optional, for full-text search): 5.x, 6.x or 7.x
• Redis: 4 or newer
• Node:
  • Node 10: 10.0 or newer
  • Node 12: 12.16 or newer
  • Node 13: 13.9 or newer
  • Node 14: 14.5 or newer

Compared to 3.3.0, an additional system dependency is required: shared-mime-info, which is likely already installed on your system.
On Debian-based systems, it can be installed using apt install shared-mime-info.

Update steps

The following instructions are for updating from 3.3.2.

If you are upgrading directly from an earlier release, please carefully read the upgrade notes for the skipped releases as well, as they often require extra steps such as database migrations.

Non-Docker

If you’re upgrading from before 3.3.2, make sure you have shared-mime-info installed (apt install shared-mime-info).

1. Pull the code: git fetch && git checkout v3.3.2
2. Restart mastodon-web and mastodon-sidekiq:
   systemctl reload mastodon-web
systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq

Docker

The exact steps depend on your setup, but they are likely to match the following:

1. Pull the code: git fetch && git checkout v3.3.2
2. Pull the prebuilt images: docker-compose pull, or, alternatively, build them yourself: docker-compose build --pull
3. Restart all Mastodon processes: docker-compose up -d
