Hi there,
the moment has come to do the first instance upgrade cycle in the life of this instalation to bring this server to the actual stable version 2024.12-1 in the comming days.
In part the idea is to document every step in a post similiar to the howTo instructions:
install and/or move friendica to ubuntu 22.04 LTS VPS server
in the @EDIT | don't follow! profile.
Right now we are on 2023.05, so we will have to update step by step to:
2023.12 | release notes
2024.03 | release notes
2024.08 | release notes
2024.12-1 | release notes
Are there any specific recomandations or details to have in mind besides the information expected to be found in every update release instruction?
This is basically a single user instance with round about 14 forum pages with few followers each and a total of 18 profiles with contacts in the activityPub and diaspora community and some RSS subscriptions. No other specific conectors are enabled.
Installed addons/apps:
blockbot, calc, impressum, js_upload, notifyall, nsfw, pageheader, phpmailer, qcomment, rendertime, showmore_dyn, startpage
DB backups amount to ~180MiB and the image file storage folder on ftp around ~400MiB.
Friendica stable | 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.05 - 1518
PHP Version 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
VPS server | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk - unlimited traffic

Notes:
This instances right now seems to work well.
Sometimes this profile here has some strange hickups like when following up the link of a post from this server in a stream view a message "Not Found |The requested item doesn't exist or has been deleted." Also right now profiles from contacts, for example @ hoergen or @ feb don't show up in the contact list but they are displayed as followed in the profile contact page.

I guess there is nothing to add with respect to the difference between 2024.12 and 12-1, it's just installing 2024.12-1 instead of 2024.12 (?).

in reply to Tobias • • •¿from github?
On github it looks like 12-1 was released a day later (right now it states 29 days) than 12 (1 month), as if it is a fix, also it states:
In the list of tags it looks like "older" or lesser in the hierarchy.
[as of now just edited the difference in the inicial post between github branch and anouncement post]

in reply to Tobias • • •Learning/comprehension question @Tobias:
What does "in Friendica" mean?
The stable version 2024.12, in other words the github pull of 2024.12 even when the date says "1 month" like it if werent as upt o date than 12-1?

in reply to Tobias • • •In other words @Tobias, these are changes in files on github for github and are not transfered by a git pull, right?
(a like for verifying refrasing questions to asure that I got the comment right is suffice @ Tobi!)

At the same time I do have to point out that you did two opposite staments, didn't you?
