We'll give the upgrade new try tomorrow. I've had some good input from admins of other instances, which are also gonna help troubleshoot during/after the upgrade.

Also there are newer RC versions with fixed issues.

Be aware that might we need to rollback again, posts posted between the upgrade and the rollback will be lost.

We see a huge rise in new user signups (duh.. it's July 1st) which also stresses the server. Let's hope the improvements in 0.18.1 will also help with that.

Can't you disable the post button within the upgrade progress? It's a shame to see posts to disappear due to it.

The best would be to redirect to a 502 for the duration of the migration. Better safe than sorry

I think a static page page explaining to users that the server is being upgraded would be best.

Beehaw.org did this, their nginx seems configured to return a nice error message.
