lol yeah I discovered this one a while ago. Thanks for the tip on setting it to null.
Yeah I was assuming so, didn't think it was stateless.
Awesome.
Even more awesome. I do know there have been performance improvements in recent patches, so if you did your migration awhile ago then we should hopefully be faster. We do have 350gb to migrate though.
My current thought is:
I did the migration last week. London DigitalOcean to Amsterdam Backblaze. Sticking to "stable" pictrs, so 0.4.2. I think the biggest issue for the migration is that it's single threaded. If there's a way to tell it to do many items at once - that would help a great deal. Might be worth looking into 0.5.x alpha releases.
The problem I see with your plan is running pictrs during migration - you will still get thumbnails generated during that time. All this will lead to split brain. Not too big of a deal as you simply won't have thumbnails for recent sites, but, technically speaking, you will still have data loss in terms of imaging. Might as well avoid the overhead of making a copy of the db.

Yep but I was thinking that losing some thumbnails was better than having image delivery completely off for hours.....
Fair point 👍
