When I do appwrite push function it ends with error creating function rule. My instance is self hosted 1.9.5 and when the error happens docker logs this:

Before I got the same error as discussed in this thread https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1522114393179947018

Cli is up to date. Function is written in dart.

Summary

The issue with the "invalid document structure" error is likely due to a new version. You need to install the latest version and redeploy your function. Your data should be safe, but make sure to back it up just in case.

That Unknown attribute: "owner" error looks more like a schema/version mismatch in the self-hosted instance than an issue with your Dart function or the CLI. I'd check whether the 1.9.5 migration completed successfully and whether the proxy collections are in sync. I can help you debug it directly if you'd like. Did this start right after upgrading, or has this instance been on 1.9.5 from the beginning?

Thank you. I upgraded the instance to 1.9.5 and let the migration run automatically.

I just ran the migration again. I completes with "migration completed". I prints some "failed to create attribute/index/..." though. Don't know what is critical or not.

Those "failed to create attribute/index" messages are likely the key here, they usually indicate the migration didn't fully apply, even if it ends with "migration completed." The missing owner attribute suggests one of the internal collections is out of sync with the expected schema. I'd start by identifying which migration steps failed and whether they're safe to rerun or need manual intervention. Can you share the exact migration output (especially the failed attribute/index lines) and let me know if this is a fresh install or an upgraded instance with existing data?

It's an upgraded instance with existing data.

Owner is intended attribute for rules.

I can see migration V21 was supposed to add it, alongside region attribute.
It seems V21 is migration for versions 1.6.0, 1.6.1 and 1.6.2

@rovolt. What was your original version before upgrading? In case you are upgrading multiple minor versions, I believe you will need to go version-by-version, applying all migrations in between too (using latest patch version)

My previous version was 1.9.0 but maybe I just didn't notice because I haven't pushed a function since then.
Is there a way to fix it now or do I need to install it freshly again? Can I save my data?
