Since those old migrations will now most likely only run during db init,
there’s not much point in running them in the background concurrently
anyway, so just drop the cncurrent setting rather than disabling
migration locks.
Ever since 364b6969eb
this setting wasn't used by the backend and a noop.
The stated usecase is better served by setting the base_url
to a local subdomain and using proxying in nginx/Caddy/...
Rich Media parsing was previously handled on-demand with a 2 second HTTP request timeout and retained only in Cachex. Every time a Pleroma instance is restarted it will have to request and parse the data for each status with a URL detected. When fetching a batch of statuses they were processed in parallel to attempt to keep the maximum latency at 2 seconds, but often resulted in a timeline appearing to hang during loading due to a URL that could not be successfully reached. URLs which had images links that expire (Amazon AWS) were parsed and inserted with a TTL to ensure the image link would not break.
Rich Media data is now cached in the database and fetched asynchronously. Cachex is used as a read-through cache. When the data becomes available we stream an update to the clients. If the result is returned quickly the experience is almost seamless. Activities were already processed for their Rich Media data during ingestion to warm the cache, so users should not normally encounter the asynchronous loading of the Rich Media data.
Implementation notes:
- The async worker is a Task with a globally unique process name to prevent duplicate processing of the same URL
- The Task will attempt to fetch the data 3 times with increasing sleep time between attempts
- The HTTP request obeys the default HTTP request timeout value instead of 2 seconds
- URLs that cannot be successfully parsed due to an unexpected error receives a negative cache entry for 15 minutes
- URLs that fail with an expected error will receive a negative cache with no TTL
- Activities that have no detected URLs insert a nil value in the Cachex :scrubber_cache so we do not repeat parsing the object content with Floki every time the activity is rendered
- Expiring image URLs are handled with an Oban job
- There is no automatic cleanup of the Rich Media data in the database, but it is safe to delete at any time
- The post draft/preview feature makes the URL processing synchronous so the rendered post preview will have an accurate rendering
Overall performance of timelines and creating new posts which contain URLs is greatly improved.
Applying works fine with a 20220220135625 version, but it won’t be
rolled back in the right order. Fortunately this action is idempotent
so we can just rename and reapply it with a new id.
To also not break large-scale rollbacks past 2022 for anyone
who already applied it with the old id, keep a stub migration.
This promotes and expands our existing optional migration.
Based on usage statistics from several instances, see:
AkkomaGang/akkoma#764
activities_hosts is now retained after all since it’s essential
for the "instance" query parameter of *oma’s public timeline to
reliably work in a reasonable amount of time. (Although akkoma-fe has
no support for this feature and apparently barely anyone uses it.)
activities_actor_index was already dropped before in
20221211234352_remove_unused_indices; no need to drop it again.
Birthday indices were introduced in pleroma starting with
20220116183110_add_birthday_to_users which is past the
last common migration 20210416051708.

This will crop them to a square matching behaviour of Husky and *key
and allowing us to never worry about consistent alignment.
Note, akkoma-fe instead displays the full image with inserted spacing.
