Downtime & Upgrade Plans

Sorry about the downtime everyone! I lost power due to the cold front that rolled in and forgot to turn the server back on 😅

I turned the server back on this morning, 1/27, but again turned the server off in the evening as I decided I should upgrade the server to the latest version. Currently we are sitting at Peertube version 6.3.3 and the newest version is 8.0.1. So I am going to try to go through with all the upgrade processes and hope that it all works out. The downtime in the evening was required so that I could make a backup of the current state of Peertube.

So, the plan is to upgrade the server this week. If anything occurs and the upgrade does not work out perfectly, I may have to roll back to the backup that was taken today. Keep that in mind for any uploads during this week. Hopefully I will not have to roll back but if I do there may be uploads that will be missed. There will also be more downtime in the following days as I shut the server down as I upgrade it.

tldr: I'm upgrading the server. Expect downtime in the coming days. If you upload something this week and then it's not there later in the week, I had to back out of the upgrade. Feel free to re-upload.
