Hi all! i followed the self-host update guide (https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/update) and got some strange messages in output. The outputs are too long, so i'll post it in different messages. My steps:
Step 1. Install the next version:
docker run -it --rm --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw --entrypoint="upgrade" appwrite/appwrite:1.4.9
Output:
Starting Appwrite installation...
Previous installation found, do you want to overwrite it (a backup will be created before overwriting)? (Y/n)
y
Compose file found, creating backup: docker-compose.yml.1701339330.backup
Env file found, creating backup: .env.1701339330.backup
Choose your server HTTP port: (default: 80)
Choose your server HTTPS port: (default: 443)
Choose a secret API key, make sure to make a backup of your key in a secure location (default: 'xxx')
Enter your Appwrite hostname (default: 'mydomain.com')
Enter a DNS A record hostname to serve as a CNAME for your custom domains.
You can use the same value as used for the Appwrite hostname. (default: 'mydomain.com')
If you haven't already done so, set the following record for mydomain.com on your DNS provider:
Type Name Value
A or AAAA @ <YOUR PUBLIC IP>
Use 'AAAA' if you're using an IPv6 address and 'A' if you're using an IPv4 address.
Running "docker compose up -d --remove-orphans --renew-anon-volumes"
Appwrite installed successfully
Summary
During an update from version 1.3.7 to 1.4.9, the user encountered an error. Some suggestions were made, including upgrading to version 1.4.0 first and then running the migration command. Another suggestion was to upgrade to the nearest version step by step and run the migration command each time. The user also encountered a usage restarting issue but continued with the process. In the end, the user successfully completed the migration by removing some orphaned projects.
