Mastodon update failed, then restore backup failed

My mastodon update failed, and restoring a backup is also failing. I have no clue why is this happening and how to restore the system.
Would anyone be so kind and have a look at the logs? Living without my mastodon account for now :frowning:

Log from restoring:
https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/sazofacavu

Full log from initial failed install/restore:

My YunoHost server

Hardware: Old computer
YunoHost version: 11.2.8.2
I have access to my server : Through SSH

Hi dudenas,

:frowning:

Did you try whether Mastodon still be installed at all?

I had matrix-synapse getting broken and unable to restore when upgrading a few times, but in the end and with some help I could get it back to work. I hope your Mastodon can be revived as well!

Thanks for the idea!
I tried to install mastodon to a different subdomain (I still have hope to restore my installation with my account). And it failed! Sadly, the log is as mysterious as the previous ones… I can make no sense of it myself…

it would be really sad to realize that YunoHost is a poor choice for Mastodon.
I’ll try to stay hopeful for a few days.

Me neither.

After my previous post, I saw another thread where the upgrade of Mastodon ran awry, and some earlier threads about being unable to install Mastodon.

Sorry not to be of any more help!

Hi,
I got a similar issue (see: [Solved] Upgrade the 'mastodon' app' could not be completed) and it was solved by removing the file /opt/rbenv/shims/.rbenv-shim who had a wrong owner and launching the update script again.
