Edit : OK so the outage was less brief than expected. The upgrade of the 3GB pictrs database took over 1 hour, and the version 0.4 database is now 14.5 GB… But anyway, it seems to be working alright now!
We will upgrade pictrs today, from 0.3.1 to 0.4.4. This will enable us to switch to S3 storage later on, and is needed for more anti-CSAM tools. Outage should only involve picture uploads, and should be brief.
Awesome that pict-rs has postgres and full s3 support now. Lemmy is getting really scalable!
How will the postgres support look like? They are not storing actual images in the database I hope?
No. Just like now , they store the metadata there, the images are on disk or S3
Yeah we can upload pictures again!
OK, the pictrs database upgrade is taking it’s time… please wait… ;-)

It’s building a 0.4 database, which is already twice as big as the 0.3 one
Are you manually updating Pictrs or is this included in the new lemmy update?
