Upgrade notes

To get the code for v3.5.1, use git fetch && git checkout v3.5.1.

As always, make sure you have backups of the database before performing any upgrades. If you are using docker-compose, this is how a backup command might look: docker exec mastodon_db_1 pg_dump -Fc -U postgres postgres > name_of_the_backup.dump

Dependencies

Dependencies have not changed. To summarize, the dependency requirements for v3.5.1 are:

• Ruby: 2.6 up to 3.1
• PostgreSQL: 9.5 or newer
• Elasticsearch (optional, for full-text search): 7.x
• Redis: 4 or newer
• Node: 12 or newer

Update steps

The following instructions are for updating from 3.5.0.

If you are upgrading directly from an earlier release, please carefully read the upgrade notes for the skipped releases as well, as they often require extra steps such as database migrations.

Non-Docker only:

• Install dependencies: bundle install and yarn install

Both Docker and non-Docker:

1. Precompile the assets:
   • Non-Docker: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
   • Docker: The assets are already precompiled during the build step
2. Restart all Mastodon processes
