Hi! I’m hoping for some guidance upgrading my instance. I’m still running on v0.17.3 because I ran into some issues upgrading to 0.18 and didn’t have time to really figure it out. Now that the current release is v0.19, I have people on my instance asking to upgrade and I don’t blame them. Can I simply point Docker compose at the latest release, or do I have to do incremental upgrades? What do I need to look out for with v0.18? Documentation seems to be pretty slim for whatever breaking changes happened during that release cycle and how to deal with them. Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: Thank you for all the help! I also had to update pictrs and fix some small config issues and then everything worked as expected. I’m now on 0.19.1!

Upgraded to 0.18.5, which now gives me this error:

lemmy-lemmy-ui-1  | API error: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site?auth=AUTH_KEY failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED IP_ADDRESS:8536

You might need to wait for lemmy to sort it’s self out before lemmt-ui is happy

Meaning I just wait a bit and retry later?

I can second this. It took a while after an update for the domain to show properly and not give an error. I don’t know exactly how long but I started it in the early morning and it wasn’t working but by 11 am it was all sorted out.

UI doesn’t come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.
