Our Friendica (TROM Social) failed to update to the latest stable. Likely this bug github.com/YunoHost-Apps/frien…
Seems easy to solve, but since our database is massive, around 80GB, it took around 20 hours to restore....
I understand that it totally sucks for a Social Network to be down for almost a day. People may be put off and not want to use Friendica anymore. Or our instance at least. But our instance has been very reliable for the past years and I always email people to tell them about updating it, so they are aware such things can happen.
Also, our budget for TROM.tf is around €0, compared to the billions floating around Facebook and the like. So please understand that.
Today we will give the update another try, and it is likely to work. If it doesn't at least thanks to @YunoHost a backup will be automatically restored.

in reply to Tio • •No worries, some of us enjoy Friendica and TROM.tf for reasons that a day's worth of downtime couldn't sway. And I'd like to think there's more folk around here than just me who very much appreciate the hard work you and your team put in on our behalf. Plus, there's only one thing that could ever drag me away from this instance, and we all know I just can't be trusted to do the upkeep on one of my own.
\m/ thank you!

Regarding that upgrade failure - I ran this:
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
with that key errors:
Err:6 dl.yarnpkg.com/debian stable InRelease

Probably you can do a similar job.
