!feds if you use mysql when you start your SN instance, are you stuck with it? How hard is it to change DB?
-
@jonkulp I think if you brought it down, then dumped the DB from MySQL and imported it to Postgres/whatever, that should work.
-
@psquid I might try that with my cloned backup and see if it works.
-
Are you sure the Status.Net software supports Postgresql, or other databases? I was under the impression that it was MySQL only.
-
It supports postgres. You can specify in the config file. Instructions for doing it are sparse, though.
-
@windigo I think it supports a couple of others. I wanna try Drizzle, which is allegedly similar to mysql but lighter & faster.
-
Ooooo; my biggest problem with Status.Net (other than carved-in-stone OStatus values) has been MySQL. Good to know I can switch. :D
-
Very cool; I’d love to give Postgres a try, but I’d have to get more memory on my server first. :(
-
@windigo does postgres take more memory than mysql?
-
No, MySQL takes more memory than my server has – every once and a while, it goes crazy and kills other processes. O_O
-
I imagine the switch would involve it’s own set of problems. I know it can be done, but haven’t seen docs on it.
-
I’m worried that if I try to start another server daemon, it’ll cause chaos. I should be getting an upgrade in a month or two, though.
-
@windigo yeah I think it was the culprit when my owncloud server crashed, it was processing 385 contacts and exploded (well sort of)
