Mastodon: "We're sorry, but something went wrong." when trying to upload my avatar

Hey guys!
I just installed an instance at cumbiame.com

I ran into an issue. When I try to upload my avatar and I hit submit, I get sent to a page that says "We're sorry, but something went wrong."

  • [ x] This bug happens on a newest release and not on master (If you're a user, don't worry about this).

Did you install using Docker? Try sudo chown -R 991:991 public/system, the permissions on the uploads folder might be wrong.

This happens when I try to upload any type of picture. I get a 500 Server Error

Thank you so much. That fix the problem.
