@JdeBP @tj @wild1145 Personally, I've updated frequently and never encountered major problems - at least none that couldn't be resolved with a little analysis. The Mastodon update process is generally reliable. In my view, losing a whole day's worth of data implies either poor planning of the operation or a significant dose of bad luck.Before any major update, I take a full snapshot of everything, ready to restore it if something goes sideways. The trouble often stems from the fact that installing and subsequently updating "complex" projects like Mastodon is done in a semi-automated way, perhaps using Docker. This creates an abstraction layer over your actual setup and, consequently, leaves you with little control over what's happening under the hood.
