EDIT: The update is done - Lemmy Host now running 0.18.5
This is a short post to inform you that we will be updating Lemmy World to the latest stable release of Lemmy. This is small update that fixes issues with federation of moderation actions performed by admin accounts. There is a bigger update, v0.19.0, just around the corner but the developers wanted to get this federation issue fixed as soon as possible.
The server will be updated at 1700 UTC - if you want to know when that is in your timezone you can click here.
Since this is a small update, it shouldn’t take long. Downtime should be minimal. Please feel free to check both https://status.lemmy.world and https://dash.lemmy.world before and during the upgrade.
I’ll go against the flow and say that for a single user instance, setup is quite easy, as long as you know what “docker compose” is and are somewhat comfortable with setting up a command line server. Just make sure you disable logins for anyone else and read the guides through before you start.
Updates have been no problem on my side, I just update the version number and let Docker do its thing.
