Hi Akkoma Gang,

I upgraded last night to the latest version (3.13.1). After struggling a bit with the new :base_url compulsory option and setting it to /media so that it points to where thinges used to be, I'm having a problem with the images in my posts: they load fine in the web interface, but none of my clients (Fedilab, Moshidon) can load the new images (the old ones load ok) and my instance is effectively broken.

I can't see where to find the error in the logs in know about (docker log, nginx).

Could you help please?

Thanks.

setting it to /media

do you mean that your option is literally just /media? if so that'll be why, your external clients will be working with just a path

it needs to be a full URL, https://somewhere/media/

Thanks! That was really stupid. I assumed it needed a relative url since it knows what the site's url is. That solved it!
