Can't you disable the post button within the upgrade progress? It's a shame to see posts to disappear due to it.
The best would be to redirect to a 502 for the duration of the migration. Better safe than sorry
I think a static page page explaining to users that the server is being upgraded would be best.
Beehaw.org did this, their nginx seems configured to return a nice error message.
Exactly. That's what I meant by a 502. Like most HTTP responses, you can associate a template with it and it's even recommended when you have a lot of people using your service and you want to explain why it's not accessible right now.
It's not the upgrade that is the problem it is the rollback. And we can't test the upgrade without posting.
No. And I think the ability to put the site into read-only mode for upgrade shakedown, be it hardware, operating system, or Lemmy upgrade is important for Lemmy to get past these "growing pains".
