How to import existing database in docker

Added by Aba Toókos almost 2 years ago

Hi all!
I have an installation on a Synology Nas with Docker. I just installed it with the docker graphical interface, download the image from the list, create the container and configured it. But the organisation where i work already using another ( 12.5.3 ) version of OpenProject and i want to export the existing database and everything from there into the new installation. I tried many ways but still not working, if i replace the database with the older version's backup.sql and replace the var_openproject_pgdata folder with the another version's, the container just stop, and won't start.

The fact that you're encountering issues when you replace the database and data folder might be due to differences in database schemas between the versions. Different versions might have different database structures. PaybyPlateMa Pay Online Instead of directly replacing the database and data folder, consider using OpenProject's built-in migration tools to update the database schema to match the new version. This might involve running specific commands within the Docker container.
