Mastodon installer updated

sean

Our Mastodon installer has been updated to use Ruby 3.2 for the main app process and Node.js v20 for the streaming process. The Mastodon version has been bumped to ~~4.2.4~~ 4.2.5.

An upgrade guide is available at: HOWTO upgrade Mastodon to v4.2.5 running on Ruby 3.2

@sean I created a ticket on this. Bah!

I'd love to see a brief writeup on the proper changes to make to upgrade installs running the old installer to use the new Ruby and Node versions.

My installation has a local copy of node 16 in the node folder. Is it simple to symlink/cp in the new node 20 binaries or do I need to do some scl_source enable magic?

For Ruby, I'm setting the Ruby version to 3.0.6 like this in my upgrade script:
echo "3.0.6" > .ruby-version
Again, do I enable ruby 3.2 at the top of my upgrade script (again with some scl source enable or equivalent) and change the version to 3.2 or do I have to reset the ruby env somewhere else? I suppose the setenv file needs to change?

Thanks!
