After upgrading to 1.4.5, this error shows:

The password contains characters like } ] ) ; *

After downgrading to 1.3.7, this shows

Starting Data Migration to version 1.3.7

Warning: Redis::pconnect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Try again in /usr/src/code/app/init.php on line 650
php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Try again

Check and follow this

So I can call docker compose up -d without having migrated yet?

That for sure

Also it's recommend to upgrade and migrate to 1.3.8 first

Updating to 1.3.8 and docker compose down && docker compose up -d didn't help. Same error afterwards.

Also the fix to you've sent me the link to was regarding the appwrite migrate for 1.3.7, which is not the main issue. Was just funny that it couldn't migrate to the same version. The main (first) error is with 1.4.5.

The restarting of the compose should remove the first error

Didn't help 😦

Everything that I need works well with 1.3.8, so I'll just try upgrading some other time.
Thanks for your effort and help ❤️

migrate

When running the docker exec appwrite migrate?

If it's because of the special characters in the pw, maybe there could be a fix in the future

Yes

Then yes, that's probably the issue

Appwrite installed successfully
root@api:# cd appwrite
root@api:/appwrite# docker compose exec appwrite migrate
Unable to parse DSN: mariadb://user...

As Steven mentioned

Seems, yes, definitely the DB password 😅

Ok so I'll wait for a fix

You can change the DB password to something that doesn't contain special characters and then update the env var. It should work that way

Okay

Do you think, in a future release there will be a fix for this issue?

No idea, but you will need to go through 1.4.13 prior to 1.5 for example

You can change the password, run migration, and then change the password to what it was initially
