Config customization lost after upgrade

[bugsysop]

Problem:

When we upgrade Akkoma the configuration is reset to default: in fact we loose all custom parameters defined directly in Admin FE. Included the choice of a custom frontend.

This is in fact a dirty side effect of running migrate_to_db at every upgrade.

Solution:

Exec migrate_to_db only at install and not at upgrade.

Strangely, I did not have any default frontend (Mangane) change after the upgrade 🤔

This still occurred for me. Moving from 3.7.1 to 3.9.3.

I configure my instance from the config.exs file. So configs, emojis, statuses, and uploads persist. But all theming is lost after an upgrade.

Are the time located in /home/yunohost.app/akkoma still there ?

My custom theme was removed from

/home/yunohost.app/akkoma after upgrade.

FWIW this has been an ongoing issue with pleroma_ynh for a while now too.

I just keep backups of the important files handy and rebuild the theme after each update.

Too bad, I was thinking we fixed this…
