In our LITE docker setup (https://github.com/Linaro/lite-lava-docker-compose), when I upgrade I would typically run 'make clean' that does the following:

docker-compose rm -vsf
docker volume rm -f lava-server-pgdata lava-server-joboutput lava-server-devices lava-server-health-checks

before doing a rebase to the latest, which would point to the latest LAVA via a couple of lines in the '.env' file:

DC_SERVER_IMAGE=lavasoftware/lava-server:2020.05
DC_DISPATCHER_IMAGE=lavasoftware/lava-dispatcher:2020.05

Then I would run 'docker-compose build; docker-compose up' again. The procedure works, except for the fact that I'd lose the user settings and the existing test results in the process. Are you saying I can omit the steps in 'make clean' altogether? I had thought it was necessary to remove the containers and rebuild them for an upgrade to start from a clean slate.

Thanks,

Vincent

Hello,

why do you need to drop the database? LAVA will automatically migrate the database to the new database schema (if needed).

Hi,

What is the procedure to follow in order to upgrade LAVA to a new release while preserving the test results database? I am using the docker-based setup.

I tried

sudo tar cvzf lava-server-pgdata-backup.tgz /var/lib/docker/volumes/lava-server-pgdata
<wipe away old LAVA, rebase to latest>
sudo tar xvzf lava-server-pgdata-backup.tgz -C /var/lib/docker/volumes/lava-server-pgdata

But the old results don't seem to show up in the UI after the upgrade. Also the user accounts, settings, etc. are gone, and it'd have been nice to keep them.

Thanks,
Vincent
