Errors when upgrading from 3.4.3 to 4.0.8 (ipam.0064_clear_search_cache...Skipping config initialization (database unavailable))

[etigui]

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

3.4.3

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

We have 2 instances, one prod with Netbox 3.4.3 and one test with Netbox 4.0.8. We are trying to upgrade from the prod to the test instance:

Prod instance (Netbox 3.4.3 with postgesql v13):

1. Dump production database

Test instance (Netbox 4.0.8 with postgesql v16):

1. Create database from dump
2. Run upgrade.sh
3. Upgrade get stuck on DB migration

Expected Behavior

Migrate Netbox from 3.4.3 (postgesql v13) to 4.0.8 (postgesql v16)

Observed Behavior

IIRC you'll need to be on 3.7.x to upgrade into 4.x.x.

https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/installation/upgrading/ check the upgrade paths here.

I have found how to fix it, but it's weird:

1. Migrate first to the version 3.7.8

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.11 ./upgrade.sh

3. If you get the issue below follow this Errors when upgrading from 3.4.3 to 3.7.1 ( Migration account.0001_initial is applied before its dependency users.0004_netboxgroup_netboxuser) #14929 (comment)

4. Manually migrate extras 0102_move_configrevision

$ cd netbox
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ venv/bin/python3 netbox/manage.py migrate extras 0102_move_configrevision

5. Run the upgrade

$ PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.11 ./upgrade.sh

6. Migrate then to the version 4.0.8

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.11 ./upgrade.sh
