-====== Update Mastodon to 4.0.* ======
-That is just a how-to which worked for me. Do a Backup in advance!
-===== Pre-requisites =====
-Backup everything! You do not want to stay up half of the night and fix something.
-With the update to the version 4.0 you need a nodejs 14 and also edit some path in the system files.
+Maybe something went wrong with the install of the bundler gem and the services are not starting. Check if the gem is installed or just install it.
-Update nodejs:
 <code>
-yum module reset nodejs
+# su - mastodon
-yum module enable nodejs:14
+cd live/
-yum -y update
+RAILS_ENV=production  gem install bundler
 </code>
-Edit the path for bundle:
-<code>
-sed -i 's:ExecStart=/bin/bundle:ExecStart=/opt/mastodon/bin/bundle:g' /etc/systemd/system/mastodon-*
-</code>
-That is necessary, because in my installation I changed it before.
-===== the REAL update =====
-Here I just followed the manual from [[https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0|Mastodon]] on Github.
-This can take some minutes:
-<code>
-su - mastodon
-cd live
-git fetch && git checkout v4.0.0
-bundle install
-yarn install
-</code>
-Also this take some minutes
-<code>
-SKIP_POST_DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATIONS=true RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate

-sudo systemctl restart mastodon-*

-cd live
-git fetch && git checkout v4.0.2
-bundle install
