I’m having problems updating Redash 6.0.0.b8537 to 7.0.0.b18042.

I’m hosting it on Kubernetes (Google Kubernetes Engine) and using Google Cloud SQL as a backend. Due to Kubernetes, the normal update instructions won’t work because docker-compose is not used.

Updating Redash itself works, but I can’t get db migrate to work.

I tried to recreate update steps in the following way:

  1. Snapshot Cloud SQL for backup
  2. Delete Redash deployment (I chose to delete whole deployment because trying to kill pods/containers/processes inside turned out very tricky/impossible). At this point, Redash services are practically turned off and DB is still running.
  3. Run Kubernetes job to migrate DB. This will launch Redash container (version 7.0) and only run python manage.py db upgrade -command and exits after that.

Migrate script gives following output before completing:

  1. Re-deploy Redash services using the 7.0 version

Trying to access web interface after upgrade results in Internal Server Error.

Logs are referring to error in DB schema:

To me it looks like DB migrate doesn’t run as it should. I’ve also tried to run it directly from deployed Redash server without shutting down the deployment, but it still gives the same output.

Having the same issue here. Were you able to find a solution?

Not yet. I’ve seen some other people having problems with migration script too when using Kubernetes.

Based on the outputs you shared, it looks like no migration were applied when you ran db upgrade. Please make sure that:

  1. You executed the migrations step with the correct image.
  2. You executed the migrations step with the correct ENV vars (pointing to the same DB).

Weird, I got it working now, but last time I tried it I got following error:

Nothing really was different this time :thinking: perhaps there was some kind of conflict/error somewhere in deployment with version tags that was accidentally fixed.

Anyway, it works now. Here is a recap how version tags were configured to get it working if somebody else faces the same problem.

  • In step 2, deleted Redash deployment was version 6.0. I only deleted Kubernetes deployment for Redash. I left all other object (secrets, volumes, DB-proxy, Redis…) intact.
  • In step 3, Kubernetes job to upgrade DB used version 7.0 image.
  • In step 4, Redash deployment was updated to use version 7.0.

Same issue. But solved now.

The reason in my case: field version_num in table alembic_version was updated successfully, but that is all) No required modifications in schema occur.
I set this field manually to value from dump(I created before upgrade) and run upgrade again and it worked fine. Sorry for my ugly English)

Same issue. I posted here: Cannot upgrade/migrate database from Redash 4 to 7

Before I realized that this was essentially the same I think. I did try everything here however and still was not able to get it working…
