Migrating pictrs from block storage to object?
Migrating pictrs from block storage to object?
Hey everyone, new instance admin here after following the Ansible setup.
I'm curious about how to switch from block storage for images to object storage - it's marked as possible in the documentation but I'm not sure how to do so when the application is dockerized (as it is on a standard install.)
Any other instance admins have advice?
A few days ago I heard from a BeeHaw.org admin that their whole instance only takes 25GB right now. But it's always good to be prepared to scale up I suppose.
Did you look at the
pict-rsfilesystem command? I haven't tried it but from the pict-rs docs it looks like it does exactly what you want.It appears the version of pict-rs used in the ansible build is an older one with different commands. I didn't choose to upgrade it for risk of messing with Lemmy Compatibility.
Oh, I did read that in a Lemmy GitHub issue. They haven't upgraded yet. I have no idea if it's a smooth/compatible upgrade or if the Lemmy devs need to update code to remain compatible. If you don't want to go wandering into potential breakage, yeah, you probably want to sit tight until the version of pict-rs gets updated. Hopefully there's a simple migration available then though.
