Geddit back online! (weird fix)

After upgrading Geddit.social to Lemmy v0.18 the whole platform broke..

After many hours of editing configs, debugging and trying out various fixes a little database query to remove the "site icon" fixed it and now are back online!

I'll keep an eye out on further issues..

The exact fix for us using Docker:

  • Run docker exec -it <postgres-container> "bash" to connect to your postgres database container.
  • Run psql -U lemmy to connect to the database with the lemmy user.
  • Run update site set icon = null where id = 1; then \q then exit

@stux That's the weirdest fix I've ever seen. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Guess it's a version upgrade artifact or some such.

I keep getting logged out. Seems to happen on the front page and community pages (pages that list posts, if that's relevant) Possibly relevant: after the recent downtime I changed password

Hmm thats weird.. Have you tried clearing cache and cookies?

Also what browser do you use?

u001@geddit.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Clearing cookies seems to have worked. Thank you :)
