    Hello @dsp76 I'll take the upvote on my last reply as a confirmation that this topic is resolved. FYI: @dsp76, please check out this follow-up topic https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/16115/remote-profile-pictures-gone if you are missing profile picture in Mastodon and would like to re-create them all at once.

    Oh, you're right, I do not remember when the "accelerated" feature has been activated. I think the issue is solved. !Thanks @james

    @nebulon thanks. It shows 0 active users, and I’m not sure why admins aren’t counted.I have no further questions.

    @james Thanks, the user self-management part is already sorted out. However, I still have a question: how can I create a default administrator, and why does the site administration section on the homepage keep loading? [image: ]

    @james I have a Cloudron license, and that’s where I install and manage all our applications. Sorry for the confusion!

    @james Hi, First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my question and provide a solution to my issue — I really appreciate it! In the end, I managed to log in to Mastodon by manually creating an admin user. Here’s the command I used inside the Mastodon directory: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console << 'SCRIPT' user = User.new(email: 'user@example.com', password: 'StrongPassword123!', password_confirmation: 'StrongPassword123!', agreement: true, confirmed_at: Time.now.utc) user.account = Account.new(username: 'username') user.save! user.approve! user.update(role: UserRole.find_by(name: 'Owner')) puts "User created successfully: #{user.account.username} (#{user.email})" SCRIPT Only after creating the admin user this way, I was able to successfully access Mastodon. Best regards, Yossi

    Thanks! as it turns out, in my case it was the cloudflare proxy causing issues. I had disabled it for IPv4 but forgot to do the same for IPv6 so the results/errors were confusing because of this.

    Oh sorry, just saw this. I guess what I'm confused by is the fact that at some point I made an edit to the core app and that modification did (and does) persist. ... which is to say that if the system to revert changes has been around since... early June/late May, then I think I inadvertently found a way around it (that I admittedly can't replicate). Since I can't reliably replicate the change, I guess there's no need to investigate or consider it further, especially if the code-reversion thing is a new addition (which would explain why I was able to modify my instance up until a few weeks ago, but not now). But I will +1 to the desire to be able to make modifications to core applications (even if we have to affirmatively take responsibility for crashing it, or at least have backups in place). I realize the net balance of benefits vs costs might never support it though. In any case, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

    It looks like the migration went smoothly. I'll put together a blog post to details the steps I took. Thank you again for all the help!

    If you continue to read the aws-cli docs, you can specify where to install them, ie /app/data It's alsways useful to set the HOME dir variable whenever working with the CLI with export HOME=/app/data

    @joseph Thank you for your feedback. So far, my setup has been working well for a month. But I will follow your advice and use the hosts file to avoid updates breaking my setup.
