[Done] Pictrs Migration- Between NOW and 1700 UTC Image Upload Disabled (lemmy.world)

Hi all, We will be attempting to migrate Pict-rs tomorrow starting at 1700 UTC. Between now and 1700, image uploads will be disabled to try and avoid any data loss. You will still be able to like, comment and post until then. During the upgrade window, Pict-rs will be offline, so viewing images might not work. In theory CloudFlares CDN cache should cover us during the window, but YMMV. Hopefully everything should go smooth, but we do our best to make sure we have backups!

You can monitor our site health at https://dash.lemmy.world and https://status.lemmy.world

We will post updates to https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld as well.

Cheers, LW Infra Team ๐Ÿ’—

Update This change is done. Images are now hosted on S3 storage and uploads are re-enabled.

While I agree on the technical aspects, I'll say that small instances benefit a lot from s3. My single user instance currently has over 25 Gb of media cache... Object storage (hosted on my NAS ) has been a godsend.

Have you used MinoIO? I've used that before for local S3 and it works quite well.

This is actually what I use. Great piece of software!

[โ€“] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's dope.

And surprisingly light on resources (apart from storage space obviously).
