When I look at these two URL cache folder, I see Matrix-Synapse/media/url_cache/ is more updated (so seems in use) but it lack of two folders present in /synapse/media/url_cache the /24-04-10 and the /24-04-11 folders
Could this be because of the failed upgrade and the restoration of an old backup (I lost 5 days of conversations) ?
So my guess will be the /synapse/ folder has been created during the failed migration to 104.0~ynh1 and has not been removed by the scriptd when it entirely removed my Synapse application after failing the upgrade.
root@nos:/home/yunohost.app/matrix-synapse# du -sh /home/yunohost.app/*synapse
3.4G /home/yunohost.app/matrix-synapse
3.4G /home/yunohost.app/synapse
I think the /synapse folder was created by the failed upgrade script, doesn’t it?
It contains almost the same information up to 11th April, and the /matrix-synapse seems to have the same information, expect the 7-11th April period (lost information due to 5 days old backup).
I would means I could remove the /synapse folder (or move to a backup location). And the try again the upgrade.
Do you think it is reasonable ?
Here are the solution that I would apply if I was in this case, but well honestly I don’t really what happen in your case.
# copy all data which are in matrix-synapse into synapse so we are sure that we don't lost any data
cp -r /home/yunohost.app/matrix-synapse/* /home/yunohost.app/synapse/
# Remove legacy directory
rm -r /home/yunohost.app/matrix-synapse
Thanks for this advice
Does this means the new /synapse/ folder will have data from /matrix-synapse/ + data from /synapse/ (from 7-11th April period) that was not on /matrix-synapse/ ?
I am doing a backup of the /home/yunohost.app/synapse/ in case with cp -pr /home/yunohost.app/synapse/* /home/yunohost.app/synapse-backup/
I do a full backup of Synapse application.
Then I will follow your suggested process with some slight modification.
# copy all data which are in matrix-synapse into synapse so we are sure that we don't lost any data
cp -pr /home/yunohost.app/matrix-synapse/* /home/yunohost.app/synapse/
# backup legacy directory in case...
mv /home/yunohost.app/matrix-synapse /home/yunohost.app/matrix-synapse-backup
And finally, I’ll try the upgrade of Synapse and I hope to come back to you with goo news.
That did the trick, I should have thought about it.
It all went great until … I tried to upgrade mautrix-synapse. It should probably deserve it’s own post though but in case @Josue is the maintainer here is a head’s up: the update might break other bridges.
