Freindica Upgrade


@Peter Lord well, how did it go? I remember system-critical updgrades to a new version of VMS on our DEC Alpha: lots of preparation followed by nervous implementation, fingers crossed. Quite stressful. So glad I don't have to do that anymore. I'm impressed that you actually want to do that.

The software (PHP code) was easy - just a new tree and copy over the old config file.

I chose to also move away from containers, also straight forward (restore the last backup on a fresh natively running mariadb).

But there is a post backgound task still going on, looks like its re-syncing contacts. Friendica has a "workerqueue" to process work - I'm told it can take several days to complete and settle back down to normal levels.
