@timconsidine 9.1.3 is being rolled out . The upgrade path will be straight from 9.0.17 to 9.1.3

I still get the "This update is a pre-release and not considered stable yet. Please update at your own risk." warning:

[girish]

@jdaviescoates that's the correct behavior. it's being rolled out in phases. are you expecting something else?

the alternate message here would be "This update is being rolled out." but given our small team size, we want something deterring people from all updating at once.

This version is currently being rolled out gradually during testing.
We recommend waiting for the automatic update instead of installing it manually.

Hello @murgero

Currently, we use the message This update is a pre-release and not considered stable yet. Please update at your own risk. in two cases.

Case 1:
What the message states exactly.
The update is pre-release and not considered stable yet.

Case 2:
We also use the same message when we are rolling out the finished update to lower the load so not all systems automatically update at the same time.
DDoS protection against ourselves and to catch regressions that we might have missed early with fewer instances effected.
In Case 2, the automatic update would still trigger at some point when it is your systems turn to update.

When we post the announcement in the Forum that e.g.: 9.1 is released, case 2 is in effect, but the message is still the same.

I understand the confusion here, and we will improve the message in this case to reflect what is actually happening.
We simply did not get to it, yet.
Apologies for the confusion, we will improve this in the future!

I upgraded from 9.0.17 to 9.1.3 yesterday and everything went smooth as butter! Thanks to the Cloudron team for the awesome work!

@james I understand, I was suggesting a change for situations like Case 2 - a little more transparent but still a short message as to not confuse users/admins.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but when is 9.2 due for release? I am waiting for a fix to Full-text search, I was told it should go into 9.2?

You mean for email accounts with loads of mail? (that's what I remember reading about somewhere)

[paradoxbound]

@jdaviescoates Yes I did some digging and found the root cause at least for me. My users have some huge mailboxes. I am just waiting for the fix so I can enable the feature again.

Issue:
The mail container's Solr instance is repeatedly crashing with OOM
errors when attempting to index a large mailbox (hundreds of thousands
of emails). The JVM is hardcoded to 512MB heap and crashes during XML
parsing with OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.
Evidence:

Continuous SIGABRT crashes every 1-2 seconds visible in supervisord logs
JVM crash dumps showing OOM during XMLLoader.readDoc
I can supply crash logs from /run/solr/logs/ on request

Root Cause:
The 512MB heap limit is insufficient for large mailboxes. Solr's
bin/solr script supports SOLR_HEAP and SOLR_JAVA_MEM environment
variables, but there's no way to configure this in Cloudron.
Request:
Please add configuration support for SOLR_HEAP (either via UI setting or
/app/data/solr/config.ini) so it can be increased to 2048m for
production mailboxes.

[girish]

@paradoxbound are you on 9.1.6 already? I had made a fix to adjust the java heap based on memory allocated to mail container.
