Upgrade Mastodon from 4.2.5 to 4.2.6 to 4.2.7

I just finished the upgrades of my Mastodon instance. I saw this notice a few days ago. I just have no time to do it. I flew to San Francisco last week. To look after my father-in-law. He received surgery yesterday and is in the ICU now.  I got very limited time to use the computer and have a rest.

I got a few hours to sit in front of my laptop tonight. The upgrade is two steps. One is from v4.2.5 to v4.2.6.

I enter the following commands to upgrade it. Firstly, SSH to the VPS.

sudo su - mastodon
cd live
git fetch --tags
git chckout v4.2.6
bundle install
yarn install --frozen-lockfiles
exit
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
sudo systemctl reload mastodon-web
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-streaming

The other one is an upgrade from v4.2.6 to v4.2.7.

sudo su - mastodon
cd live
git fetch --tags
git chckout v4.2.7
bundle install
yarn install --frozen-lockfiles
exit
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq
sudo systemctl reload mastodon-web
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-streaming

Then, I restarted the VPS.

Why do I do the upgrades one by one?

I want to play safe. Since Mastodon does not provide a direct upgrade method. The best way to do the upgrade is one by one.

Since I am out of town, I may not publish regularly. Sorry about it.
