Today has been a mess of interruptions so I didn't get much chance to work on the issues, but here's a quick summary of where we are:
 +
* images sometimes will upload, but sometimes take effectively forever
 +
* This ''may'' be due to needing an upgrade; see [https://toot.cat/@clarfonthey/109310137891163841 clar fon's post].
 +
* Doing a site upgrade was already high on my priority queue; it's now the main thing.
 +
* The obstacle, however, is that the failsafe upgrade script set up for me by ghost!admin isn't working.
 +
* That script is written in {{l/wp|Nix (package manager)|Nix}} (the entire site is now running under {{L/wp|NixOS}}), so in order to debug it I need to understand a bit more about Nix.

==The Nix Issue==

The first step in the upgrade is to start Nix on my desktop -- but I get an error when I do that:
 +
woozle@SamEagle:~/nextcloud/statler/woozle/projects/web/Mastodon/TootCat/nixos-config$ nix develop
 +
error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to override
 +

My recollection is that I tried the <code>--extra-experimental-features</code> option the last time I ran into this (several months ago), and that led to another dead-end -- but I suppose I could try it again and document that.

There are no known issues.

Today has been a mess of interruptions so I didn't get much chance to work on the issues, but here's a quick summary of where we are:

  • images sometimes will upload, but sometimes take effectively forever
  • This may be due to needing an upgrade; see clar fon's post.
  • Doing a site upgrade was already high on my priority queue; it's now the main thing.
  • The obstacle, however, is that the failsafe upgrade script set up for me by ghost!admin isn't working.
  • That script is written in Nix (the entire site is now running under NixOS), so in order to debug it I need to understand a bit more about Nix.

The Nix Issue

The first step in the upgrade is to start Nix on my desktop -- but I get an error when I do that:

woozle@SamEagle:~/nextcloud/statler/woozle/projects/web/Mastodon/TootCat/nixos-config$ nix develop
error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to override

My recollection is that I tried the --extra-experimental-features option the last time I ran into this (several months ago), and that led to another dead-end -- but I suppose I could try it again and document that.

For now, however, this is where I am stuck.
