In October I acted carelessly and accidentally deleted Sopuli from my server when trying to update to a newer Lemmy version. Luckily I had backed up the database. However, as this GitHub issue shows, reinstalling Lemmy and restoring the backups wasn't the easiest thing to do. I got really frustrated and let the thing go for a while, partially because I was busy with other things. I didn't check Lemmy for a while. Of course, things could have been worse in case of a centralized platform.

Restoring from backups and getting Sopuli running was however on my mind nearly every week. I paid Hetzner's cloud server bills and thought "I'm not paying this for nothing." Few days back I saw that the GitHub issue had been resolved and it gave me new motivation to get Sopuli back up again. Yes, this took nearly two months and I could have been quicker but here we are now! Sopuli.xyz is back in business and I promise anything like this to happen never again!

As you can see, Sopuli is now running Lemmy's latest version 0.14.3. The only downside is that the backup made didn't include pict-rs which means that all the old pictures are gone.

I want to thank all the users of this instance who were patient while waiting for this to come back online. I also want to thank @dessalines@lemmy.ml, @wintermute@feddit.de and @nutomic@lemmy.ml for giving me advice regarding restoring this instance. Here's to you!

PS. Happy Finland's independence day!

I just randomly looked at Lemmy's GitHub page and saw that a new version just came out. Therefore I decided to update Sopuli to the Lemmy version 0.13.0.

Katsoin sattumalta Lemmyn GitHub-sivua ja huomasin, että uusi versio oli juuri julkaistu. Päätin siis päivittää Sopulin Lemmyn versioon 0.13.0.

I keep getting notifications saying "Websocket disconnected" "Websocket reconnected" every few seconds, and everything will refuse to load as well. It's making Lemmy near-unusable for me (it's a miracle I was able to post this). This didn't happen before the update to 0.11.3 as far as I know. Does anyone else have this problem?

Sopuli was updated to the Lemmy’s latest version 0.10.2. Certain problems popped up after updating and changes had to be made to the instance’s settings.

Sopuli päivitettiin Lemmyn uusimpaan versioon 0.10.2. Päivittämisen myötä tuli erinäisiä ongelmia, joiden korjaamiseksi piti tehdä muutoksia instanssin asetuksiin.
