@Gargron Cool, I've been thinking about rolling out an instance there.

@Gargron Love Digital Ocean!

@Gargron is it still running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or is it updated to 22.04?

@Gargron DigitalOcean for the win 🙌 we use them so much at work and that’s where our Mastodon instance is hosted ☺️

@Gargron I'd love to try running my own instance and see how it all functions.

@Gargron you're welcome! <3

@Gargron Oh good! I just upgraded their old instance the *very hard way* to 4.0.0rc2!

@Gargron Awesome, updated https://github.com/cloudsecurityalliance/Twitter-PlanB

@Gargron perfect timing!!

@Gargron Oh awesome! I had just used it yesterday and was about to dig into and do it manually. Thanks Jes!

@Gargron I’m glad you never stopped working hard on this platform! ❤️

@Gargron 🙏🏿💯

@Gargron android apps & tusky user cannot view video uploaded by other user.

@Gargron hah wow, missed that by a day. Manual update wasn't so bad though, which hopefully bodes well for keeping it up to date.

@Gargron @vmstan manual upgrades aren’t too difficult — I upgraded manually from v3.1.x to v3.5.3 and the only issue was some clunky stuff with asset compilation.

@Gargron finally!

@Gargron Gottla love the contributions coming in from all sides and angles- Github and elsewhere. High five!!
jsailo from Github BTW 😊 Thanks for the answers you and ClearlyClaire have given there, over the last few months.

@Gargron 👍🏽

@Gargron Thank you, this is the best news of this week!!! 😍

I spent horrible hours by trying to upgrade Digital Ocean droplet to latest Ubuntu and Mastodon. I cried many times and finally lost my first instance 😭

Now it's the time to test how fine is the "Migration to new instance" part of Installation guide on joinmastodon.org 😁

@Gargron amazing, the 1click install uses apache2, I expect this can be swapped out for nginx post install?

I'm curious why DO have chosen apache2 when mastodon docs use nginx

@Gargron ☝️ Having spent 3 evenings trying to get this sorted on a Linode... here's hoping that someone builds a Mastodon image for Linode servers too.

@Gargron am i the only one who thinks twitter sucks

@Gargron This is great news! I used the old image and had to update which was a little painful. Glad to see it's finally updated.

@Gargron great news! Now to try out the update process XD

@Gargron are posts delayed hy an hour all the time?

@Gargron - love Digital Ocean!

@Gargron NIce work

@Gargron glad the team was able to turn this around quickly! 💪🏽

@Gargron I had no idea it was available on Marketplace. Previously, I was using Mastodon through Cloudron.
