I should mention a major change is that I can no longer maintain the custom web mobile UI with the retractable sidebar. It diverged too much from Mastodon and was really problematic to maintain. I'm going to see if I can do it "smarter" for a future release because tbh I really miss it but for now the mobile web interface is going to be more cluttered than #Hometown users are used to. Sorry about that.

(Also I have Some Personal News that I'll be announcing... soonish. It will result in me having so much more time to work on Fediverse stuff, including Hometown, than I have in the past few years.)

If any admins want to get the new #Hometown running sooner than tomorrow, feel free to follow instructions here:

github.com/hometown-fork/homet

But I won't be around to help with anything that goes wrong until about 16 hours from now, so install at your own risk!!

Okay #Hometown admins -- I have released Hometown v1.1.1+4.2.10. This keeps us up to date with this morning's Mastodon security patch. It also introduces a bunch of new features from about a year of Mastodon releases. Details are at the release notes (and I talk about it above in this thread a bit).

github.com/hometown-fork/homet

It's a big release so I'm readily available to help for the next ~6 hours and will do my best to keep on top of incoming requests the remainder of the week.

@darius@friend.campI don’t remember anymore how we connected here, but this was my first chance to read the Hometown mission statement and I wanted to just say I love it! Really great idea, well explained! <3

@darius So I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I tried to follow the instructions exactly and my server just broke. Seemed to be complaining about a js error in ready.js (I think maybe webpack?)

I'm currently just restoring from a snapshot to see if I can get it running again for users, but I don't know if you (or anyone else in thread) has tips about what I maybe missed? I only had to update Ruby, everything else seemed to be valid versions.

@darius Hi! Thanks so much for the amazing work you've done here. I've tried the install three times and failed every time. For my original install I followed this guide exactly except I used a different domain provider n00q.net/articles/guide-mastod

I was able to upgrade Ruby, but couldn't find anything about upgrading Node or PostgreSQL.

When running the first command, git remote update && git checkout v4.2.10+hometown-1.1.1 in the live directory, it ends up aborted because:
"error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
yarn.lock
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches."

Any ideas what I've missed here? Thank you.

@kostyn type "git stash", which will get rid of the stray file, and then run the git update and checkout again. That error you saw would definitely mess things up!

@darius Omg! Thank you! It worked! We're all up-to-date :)

@darius Thanks, as always. Just caught up here. Hit a few bumps of my own causing but got there.
