V4: what is the best way to increase max character in a toot ? node.js should be upgraded

[isAAAc]

Describe the bug

i'm trying to increase the max character in a toot setting. i followed this link: https://www.draklyckan.se/2021/11/how-to-increase-the-character-limit-for-toots-in-mastodon/

But when i need to run the step 6. Enter the live directory and recompile Mastodon (afer adapted the command) i have this error:

yarn install v1.22.19
[1/6] Validating package.json...
error @mastodon/mastodon@: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=14". Got "6.17.1"
error Found incompatible module.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command.
Webpacker requires Node.js ">=10.17.0" and you are using v6.17.1
Please upgrade Node.js https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Exiting!

Context

• Hardware: VPS bought online
• YunoHost version:

  yunohost: 
  repo: stable
  version: 11.0.10.2
  yunohost-admin: 
  repo: stable
  version: 11.0.11
  moulinette: 
  repo: stable
  version: 11.0.9
  ssowat: 
  repo: stable
  version: 11.0.9

• I have access to my server: Through SSH && through the webadmin
• Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance?: no
• mastodon_ynh version: version: 4.0.2~ynh1

Steps to reproduce

• i follow steps 1 to 5 of https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh
• at step 6, i adapted the command as like (in deduction of what is said in https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh/blob/master/README.md ) : sudo -u mastodon RAILS_ENV=production /opt/rbenv/versions/mastodon/bin/bundle exec rails assets:precompile

but is is failing with this error:

yarn install v1.22.19
[1/6] Validating package.json...
error @mastodon/mastodon@: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=14". Got "6.17.1"

Expected behavior

i would the mastodon recompilation is OK with the max characters increased for all toots (in the web browser AND in tusky)

Thx for your help

[isAAAc]

the max character toots works only in tusky, not in the webapp :thinking:

[yalh76]

you should ask at Mastodon repository

i'll use WriteFreely for long post ;)

@isAAAc did you ever get this resolved? I recently set up a new Mastodon instance using yunohost and was following a similar guide but am also experiencing the issue with the web not updating while the API (and therefore apps) allowing the longer character limit.
