OpenProject 16 Docker (All-in-One) PostgreSQL Upgrade

Added by Hubertus Paar about 1 month ago

Hi,

I did follow the instructions in this article https://www.openproject.org/docs/installation-and-operations/misc/migration-to-postgresql17/ but it ends always with this message "Current and new postgres version are identical. Aborting."

This message comes from the "postgres-db-upgrade" script.

I would like to upgrade from version 13.

Any help here is appreciated.

Same thing here - I inspected the file which should do the upgrade:

https://github.com/opf/openproject/blob/dev/docker/prod/postgres-db-upgrade

The line NEW_PGVERSION="13" tells me, that there is actually no upgrade possible in OpenProject 16.

What are we missing? Or is it a bug and DB Upgrade for docker all in one installation is not supported at the moment?

Same thing here as well, ideas are welcome:

sudo docker run --rm -it -v /var/lib/containers/openproject/pgdata:/var/openproject/pgdata -v /var/lib/containers/openproject/pgdata-next:/var/openproject/pgdata-next openproject/openproject:16 root ./docker/prod/postgres-db-upgrade
-----> Existing PostgreSQL cluster found in /var/openproject/pgdata.
-----> Setting PGVERSION=13 PGBIN=/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin PGCONF_FILE=/etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf
Current and new postgres version are identical. Aborting.

I used the image 16.0.1 and went one step forward:

docker run --rm -it -v xxxx:/var/openproject/pgdata -v openproject-pgdata-next:/var/openproject/pgdata-next openproject/openproject:16 root ./docker/prod/postgres-db-upgrade
-----> Existing PostgreSQL cluster found in /var/openproject/pgdata.

Empty cluster found in /var/openproject/pgdata-next. Generating cluster...
chown: warning: '.' should be ':': ‘postgres.postgres’
bash: line 1: /usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/initdb: No such file or directory

ONE hour ago a new image was released

docker pull openproject/openproject:16.1 perhaps you try it with that one?

RE: OpenProject 16 Docker (All-in-One) PostgreSQL Upgrade - Added by Marc Walter 5 days ago

I stopped the container. Then i did the following via command line:

docker pull openproject/openproject:16.1 
sudo docker run --rm -it -v /var/lib/XXXXXX/openproject/pgdata:/var/openproject/pgdata -v /var/lib/XXXXX/openproject/pgdata-next:/var/openproject/pgdata-next openproject/openproject:16.1 root ./docker/prod/postgres-db-upgrade

The database upgraded worked, it was all "OK".

I use it with portainer and stacks. So i restarted everything with this configuration. I don't specify any SQL version.

version: '3.9'
services:
  openproject:
    hostname: XXXXX-OPEN-01
    image: openproject/openproject:16.1.0

    ports:
      - 8181:80
      
    container_name: openproject

    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - SECRET_KEY_BASE=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    volumes:
      - /var/lib/XXXXXXX/openproject/pgdata:/var/openproject/pgdata
      - /var/lib/XXXXXXX/openproject/assets:/var/openproject/assets
    restart: unless-stopped

The installation ist updated and works again, so far good.

But the SQL version is still the old one.

Well the upgrade was succesfully but now I am getting this:

Interesting you have the new PostgreSQL version. Can you give us more details about your compose, does ist look like mine?

RE: OpenProject 16 Docker (All-in-One) PostgreSQL Upgrade - Added by Hubertus Paar 1 day ago

Hi,

i first upgraded the all-in-one container to 16.1, then I followed the original instructions https://www.openproject.org/docs/installation-and-operations/misc/migration-to-postgresql17/

"sudo docker run --rm -it -v /var/lib/containers/openproject/pgdata:/var/openproject/pgdata -v /var/lib/containers/openproject/pgdata-next:/var/openproject/pgdata-next openproject/openproject:16 root ./docker/prod/postgres-db-upgrade"

and changed to the pgdata-next directory

But now I have the above problem. I even tried to switch back to postgressql 13 by downgranding to openproject 16.0 and change pgdata directory to original location, but here it just stops working.

I hope I could explain it clearly.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

PS: I filled in a bug report

Experiencing the same issue - successfully upgraded postgres once I went to Openproject v16.1, then renamed my host postgres-next folder to postgres and relaunched, same 'password authentication failed for user "openproject"' error. It's not port 5433 vs 5432 by any chance?

Also, same issue here using 16.1 image and trying to update from PostgreSQL 13 to 17.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

Optimizer statistics are not transferred by pg_upgrade.
Once you start the new server, consider running:
    /usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/vacuumdb --all --analyze-in-stages
Running this script will delete the old cluster's data files:
    ./delete_old_cluster.sh
