Mastodon 4.0.2 upgrade help

Hey, @techbits! I loved the Mastodon 4.0.2 upgrade instructions at techbits.io/mastodon-4-upgrade.

I created and followed my own, but followed along with yours to see how I was doing. (Mine went smoothly enough that I didn’t need your problem suggestions.)

I would recommend one change: wherever you have “mastodon*” in a command line, change it to be inside single quotes.

Thanks!

techbits.ioMastodon v4.0.0 Upgrade [v4.0.2]What's new in Mastodon v4.0.0, and how do you upgrade? Read on for the headline features and to see how to get started with Mastodon v4.0.0.

@danielnorton Hi Daniel, thanks for the feedback! It's nice to know I'm not just throwing stuff like this out into the aether.

Don't mind updating it, but I'd only tend to use single quotes if using an @ wildcard. * should be fine? (genuinely asking)

@techbits With most shells, if there happens to be files that start with "mastodon” in the current directory, the expression without the quotes will glob expand to those file names and the actual service names won’t be picked up.
