 upgrading Mastodon versions, it may sometimes be necessary to manually delete
 the Rails and Sidekiq pods so that they are recreated against the latest
 migration.

+# Upgrades in 2.0.0
+
+## Fixed labels
+Because of the changes in [#19706](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19706) the upgrade may fail with the following error:
+```Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "mastodon-sidekiq"```
+
+If you want an easy upgrade and you're comfortable with some downtime then
+simply delete the -sidekiq, -web, and -streaming Deployments manually.
+
+If you require a no-downtime upgrade then:
+1. run `helm template` instead of `helm upgrade`
+2. Copy the new -web and -streaming services into `services.yml`
+3. Copy the new -web and -streaming deployments into `deployments.yml`
+4. Append -temp to the name of each deployment in `deployments.yml`
+5. `kubectl apply -f deployments.yml` then wait until all pods are ready
+6. `kubectl apply -f services.yml`
+7. Delete the old -sidekiq, -web, and -streaming deployments manually
+8. `helm upgrade` like normal
+9. `kubectl delete -f deployments.yml` to clear out the temporary deployments

+## PostgreSQL passwords
+If you've previously installed the chart and you're having problems with 
+postgres not accepting your password then make sure to set `username` to
+`postgres` and `password` and `postgresPassword` to the same passwords.
+```yaml
+postgresql:
+  auth:
+    username: postgres
+    password: <same password>
+    postgresPassword: <same password>
+```
+
+And make sure to set `password` to the same value as `postgres-password`
+in your `mastodon-postgresql` secret:
+```kubectl edit secret mastodon-postgresql```
