[Done] Pictrs Migration- Between NOW and 1700 UTC Image Upload Disabled (self.lemmyworld)

Hi all, We will be attempting to migrate Pict-rs tomorrow starting at 1700 UTC. Between now and 1700, image uploads will be disabled to try and avoid any data loss. You will still be able to like, comment and post until then. During the upgrade window, Pict-rs will be offline, so viewing images might not work. In theory CloudFlares CDN cache should cover us during the window, but YMMV. Hopefully everything should go smooth, but we do our best to make sure we have backups!

You can monitor our site health at https://dash.lemmy.world and https://status.lemmy.world

We will post updates to https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld as well.

Cheers, LW Infra Team 💗

Update This change is done. Images are now hosted on S3 storage and uploads are re-enabled.

What kind, or host?

That we moved to S3 from filesystem

Right, but you said not AWS so I'm curious what either cloud-based S3 service, or baremetal appliance / stack you're using with S3.

[–] mrPickles 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Curious as well. Could be Cloudflare R2 since they said they're using Cloudflare elsewhere, and it has zero egress fees. Or something like Minio. Obviously just wild speculation on my part.

Almost seems like he's being cagey about not answering for some reason
