How to update this to Strapi 4

[jcliberto]

Hello,
We've deployed this successfully in Render but it's very outdated.

How to we update this to the latest version?

Hi @jcliberto. We're planning to update this repo to Strapi 4 this week. Thanks for your patience, and stay tuned!

Hi @davidmauskop
Happy to share our repository:
https://github.com/liberto-dev/strapi-next

This is a new service with Strapi 4 (using the blog starter template) that we've deployed to Render.

We installed postgres, cloudinary and copied over your env/production and yaml files, per the Render instructions.

When we deployed this, the pg database set up fine but the blueprint/web service cannot sync - it's been syncing for a while now.

Really appreciate your help with this!

Thanks @jcliberto! If you send an email to support@render.com with more details on the failed sync, we'll be happy to take a closer look for you.

@davidmauskop I'm considering Render instead of Heroku and I'm using the /env/production folder and render.yaml as the base for my project. I'm also using the latest Node 14 otherwise it crashes. There are some plugins requiring >=14.

However, I have 2 problems. The first one is that I create the admin account and then if I reload it comes again to the admin creation page. For some reason, seems that it's not saving, but I see that the Postgres DB has content 🤔

Second, one of the reasons for me to leave Heroku is that I'm uploading to S3, and when some media is large or the upload speed is slow, I have a timeout on Heroku. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/request-timeout#uploading-large-files I'm not sure if something similar happens with Render 🤞

Hi @Tragio! Thanks for considering Render.

There shouldn't be any issue uploading large files to S3.

That's weird about the admin account not saving. If you send an email to support@render.com we can take a closer look at the Render service you created.

@davidmauskop Any updates on when this repo will be updated to v4?

Hi @greynguyen- I'll be the one updating this! My plan was to get to this before StrapiConf starts, which is next week on March 16 and 17, but I believe I'll have time to do it this week. I'll let you know in this issue when it's done.

[greynguyen]

@crcastle Thanks! Would really appreciate it if you can get this done this week 🙏

[jcliberto]

Hi @crcastle
We'd greatly appreciate it too! We struggled with it for a while with a ton of help from Jade and we were able to to deploy. There are still some issues so it would be great to redeploy this more cleanly.

Hi @crcastle
We followed this repo model for Strapi V4. Our local has SQLite and our Render.com production db is Postgres.
Whenever we push a change from our local, it wipes out all of the production content entered. Hope the update will cover this. Many thanks

Any updates to this @crcastle?

[crcastle]

@greynguyen I'm working on the PR here. Would you be able to test it out?

[greynguyen]

Thanks @crcastle!
