@_elena@gjholmes Are you also dabbling with a #yunohost equivalent, but using #docker instead?

Well, that's sub-optimal...
Checked my #YuNoHost dashboard for any updates this morning, and there it was - Ghost 6.0.5!
A quick check on disk space (plenty!), then I clicked "Update".
A popup appeared,telling me that I couldn't update to v6 from... 5.0.130 (??), I would have to cast an arcane spell to update to 5.x.140, then upgrade from there.
OK, why couldn't you just do that for me, this is why most people use YuNoHost, but whatever...
I logged in to my console, cast the spell...
"This app does not exist", or words to that effect.
Hmm.
Wait, is that a typo in the spell you want me to cast?
Yeah - "https;//...".
OK, correct that, and...
"Malformed URI, should look like...."
But it does look like that, except with "/tree/" and what looks like a checksum on the end.
OK, stripping out the checksum doesn't work ("Malformed URI"), stripping /tree has the same result.
Okay, let's go to the github page...
Hmm, the only references to 5.x.140 is a changelog, which seems to suggest that the only change was to the version number in a couple of files.
And I had to leave it there, because I had spent 40 minutes troubleshooting this instead of grabbing a shower before leaving for work, and didn't do any of the writing I got up early for.
yawn
There should be a law against early mornings.
So, yeah, still running the last version of Ghost, despite my best efforts.

Hmmm...

I did an upgrade in @yunohost via SSH.

While I was waiting, it asked me to press Enter to continue and then the SSH connection timed out and closed. Now when I try to log in again and upgrade it tells me "Another YunoHost command is running right now"...

...So how do I "push enter" on a SSH session that's expired?

Boosts appreciated!

Okay I've used up all other options, so now it's #FollowerPower and #FediMagic :

Would someone here be able to help me fix my broken #Yunohost instance? I've been without email for several weeks now 😓

All apps and admin interface work without problems, but #Dovecot fails to start with a cryptic #SSL error. I've tried the forum of course but so far without success.

Happy to share logs and all. Thanks a million! 🙏

🏕️ my adventures in self-hosting: day 220 (roller coaster edition) 🎢

A new blog post where I discuss how sanity prevailed and I will NOT install my own Lemmy instance. But! Now I'm tempted to set up something else. Thankfully reality for now is disrupting my fanciful plans.
