My current plan is:
- create new system user "tootcat"
- create a new Postgres db for toot.cat's Mastodon
- migrate the data there
- install Mastodon under user "tootcat"
- run Mastodon's schema upgrade rake task
- test the result as https://new.toot.cat (get it working)
- write a script to automate the data migration
- in close succession:
- run the migration script
- reconfigure nginx to point to the new instance
revisions
- Decided it would simplify things if I went ahead and created the "tootcat" system user first.
Notes
Inside /root/backups:
su - postgres -c 'pg_dump mastodon' > tootcat.sql
Upgrading Mastodon: official
I'm calling the new db tootcat-masto-r1 (toot.cat Mastodon db revision 1) (possibly with '-' replaced by '_').
Probably just need to do this next: CREATE DATABASE tootcat-masto-r1;
...or, rather: createdb --owner=tootcat tootcat-masto-r1 -- except do I need to create "tootcat" as a system user first? Or a db user?
