if i had been smart i would have cleared a bunch of cache BEFORE doing that but, oh well
i REALLY should have cleared the cache before doing this, this has been running for 5hours lmfao
"Total objects: 582.753k (582753)
Total size: 95.758 GiB (102818958928 Byte)"
Ah.
1.527 MiB/s between the two object storages does seem pathetic but I guess thats what I get for having a dedicated server with only 100MB/s of bandwidth versus 1Gbps
"Transferred: 93.007 GiB
Elapsed time: 13h49m26.5s"
god lol
Well, good thing I’ll be out of the house most of the day anyway so hopefully by the time I’m back this thing’s done so I can clear the remote cache and be done with this migration
sync 'finished' and i did a clear of remote media but im still missing a bunch of avatars so im just bruteforcing by doing `accounts refresh` on all the domains i follow lmao
@eramdam fwiw you can also do --all in one go instead of going through every domain haha https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/#:~:text=the%20remote%20account.-,%2D%2Dall,-Can%20be%20provided
@eramdam I had the exact same issue ;-;
what I ended up doing is rclone-ing everything except the cache folder first, then swap out the S3 info to Bunny in the mastodon config + restart the instance (so the migration is effective sooner, and cache doesn’t keep accumulating on the old S3 while you transfer), then do another rclone of just the cache folder that I left running for ~2 days or so
