 Yorusaka Miyabi | Ping @andi:kack.it: Based on https://matrix.org/blog/2025/08/security-release/ it's recommended to upgrade Synapse version to 1.135.2 or later once it's avaliable for your use. | 22:19:59 |

 Andreas Rammhold | I'll get to upgrading the server.. needs a postgresql migration anyway.. hope it wont take too long.. last time I attempted it the newer postgresql version didn't go well with synapse :( | 08:37:25 |
| Andreas Rammhold | First postgresql upgrade done.. gonna let the instance catch up again and do the next one in a bit | 11:34:17 |
 Enzime | awesome | 11:48:55 |
| Andreas Rammhold | Figured why the Postgresql 13 upgrade has always been such a shit show... synapse claims to be done with schema migrations but in reality still runs some index creation afterwards.. the DB then is hammered with stuff but it is (partially) locked due to the migrations.. it seems like nothing ever progresses.. great design. Async migrations?! | 12:05:45 |
| Andreas Rammhold | alright, next upgrade 13 -> 14... 500GiB of database ain't fun | 12:24:26 |
| Enzime | oooh all the icons work again 🎉 | 13:51:59 |
| Andreas Rammhold | it did a nice sha512 sum of all the media is has ever seen after the last DB migration... for whatever reason but if that works now :| | 13:54:56 |
| Andreas Rammhold | Good news is that we up to 1.135 now.. probably just waiting on a channel bump for the final stretch | 14:39:16 |

| zrsk | Andreas Rammhold: I think it lasted only a few days/weeks. Is it still an issue for everybody and not only for me, isn't?
Yeah I know it has been like this since forever but I get annoyed cyclically (nothing to take away from you who manage this server for free :pray:) | 15:40:21 |
 andi- | I’ll look at it again. I know why it happens (purging of remote stale media) | 15:42:31 |

| zrsk | Thank you very much! Is there a public repo with the infra BTW? If you need help I can help!
It's not clear to me what the problem is honestly, but since it seems that you know a solution/workaround can't we just automatically run a script or something? I understand that it's probably subpar... | 15:47:52 |
| andi- | The repo used to be public but I simplified it a bit and merged it with my private stuff. The issue is that I’m running a script to remove stuff and synapse thinks the media (thumbnail) is still there but isn’t. | 15:50:20 |
| Enzime | is the Matrix server using too much resources for what it's currently hosted on? should we donate towards getting a bigger server? | 15:51:43 |
| zrsk | And how did you manage to make thumbnails work again? Is there an easy way to invalidate this cache? In that case we could directly run this at the end of your script. But if you didn't this already probably it's not that easy 🤔 | 15:55:32 |
| andi- | There is an admin API to call to purge media. I just have to automate that part. | 15:56:05 |
| zrsk | Doesn't look that bad then | 15:57:06 |

| andi- | Yup, just a matter of priorities | 15:57:27 |
| zrsk | Yeah, perfectly understandable. If you need help (as much as I can help without access nor to the repo or the server) please ask. For sure I can test if it works. | 15:59:19 |

| zrsk | Thumbnails work again! 🎉 | 09:08:08 |

| Andreas Rammhold | That should be ~permanent now. Finally moved that shell script onto the machine and it runs regulary. Remote media is a pain at this sice of the instance. It can easily reach ~100GiB or week or so.. and matrix doesn't care to purge it by default. | 10:13:16 |

| zrsk | Andreas Rammhold: something is broken with the login flow, it redirects you to a GitHub page which gives a 404 | 15:29:06 |
