In about 4 weeks time the GitHub Action will likely cease working, unless you perform a manual update at least once every 60 days.

If you are currently running FediFetcher via GitHub Actions, please consider migrating to another option by […]

Calling all FediFetcher users who are currently running FediFetcher as a GitHub Action:

Following recent changes by GitHub, and following the poll I was running, which showed that only a single respondent actually relies on GitHub Actions to run FediFetcher, GitHub Action support for […]

Michael (@michael@thms.uk) Following on from this, and the deafening silence from users I'm considering my options. Could users of FediFetcher please respond to this poll so I can gauge how much of a problem this actually is. If you have any other thoughts / comments / questions / details, please reply to this post. Thanks! #FediFetcher [ ] I use FediFetcher, but not with GitHub Actions [ ] I use FediFetcher with GitHub Actions. If GitHub Actions break I’ll find other ways of running it [ ] I use FediFetcher with GitHub Actions. If GitHub Actions break I have no other way of running it. [ ] I don’t use FediFetcher and just wanted to get a participation reward.

Sorry to spam y’all, but if you are using FediFetcher and running it as GitHub Action, I’d really appreciate it if you could vote in this poll:

Thanks!

It turns out that the issue wasn’t ES using excessive RAM, but rather the off heap memory growing from other processes. When the total RAM exceeded that available on the VPS, ES was killed.

Setting -Xmx2048m seems to result in a stable configuration with ES happily humming away […]

• Set ES_HOST=https://localhost in .env.production
• Set ES_CA_FILE=/path/to/selfsigned/cert

(b) I had to carefully set the maximum Java heap size, even though I thought I had plenty of RAM.

This last point confused me for sometime. I am running ES on the same VPS as my mastodon instance […]

For those interested, setting up #ElasticSearch was fairly straightforward. I mostly followed the official instructions at https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/elasticsearch/ with two minor modifications:

1. I installed OpenJDK (latest version in the Ubuntu repository)
2. I installed […]

Curiosity got the better of me and I ended up rescaling* my server and installing ElasticSearch. Let’s see how much I use it.

* FYI 2 vCPU & 4GB isn’t anywhere near enough for a #SingleUserInstance of #mastodon + #ElasticSearch .

Daniel Colquitt (@daniel@colquitt.xyz) ❓Some questions for those of you on a #mastodon instance with full-text search enabled: 1. How often do you use it? 2. What do you use it for? 3. Does it offer something above being able to search for hashtags? I don’t have it enabled at the moment, but I’m suffering from #FOMO. However, I’d have to beef up the VPS for my #singleuserinstance to enable full-text search and I’m not sure it’s worth it? #mastoadmin 🚀 Boost for reach, please!

Hot on the heels of 7.1.0 comes 7.1.1 which fixes a couple of bugs.

You should probably update to 7.1.1 if you can:

Time for another FediFetcher release:

If you can please update to v7.0.8 asap
