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.
Yeah, here we go:
woozle@SamEagle:~/nextcloud/statler/woozle/projects/web/Mastodon/TootCat/nixos-config$ nix --extra-experimental-features develop
warning: unknown experimental feature 'develop'
error: no subcommand specified
Try 'nix --help' for more information.
Am I understanding the error message correctly? Maybe it meant...
woozle@SamEagle:~/nextcloud/statler/woozle/projects/web/Mastodon/TootCat/nixos-config$ nix develop --extra-experimental-features nix-command
error: getting status of /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket: Permission denied
I don't know if that's better or worse.
Anyway, that's where I'm stuck now.
Funds
- The server was costing $48/mo (DigitalOcean).
- Last night, I doubled the CPU and RAM (to 8vCPUs, 16 GB RAM); we're now burning $96/mo, as long as I keep it at that level.
- It's not actually clear how much it helped. I'll have more data to look at after a day or two. The queue was getting longer all this afternoon, after having gotten almost cleared this morning.
- I'm not sure exactly what the current revenue is.
- A lot of new donations came in over the past week; I'm not sure what portion were one-time.
- Prior to this week, monthly revenue was somewhere around $80-110. If that keeps up, then we go from "having a little extra for personal support" to "maybe breaking even".
- I... should probably talk about my [family's/personal] financial situation at some point, but that gets complicated. TLDR: overworked, underfunded, unemployed.
- Yes, I do plan to do some fundraising -- but I kind of want to fix things first.
