Hi there, since InfluxDB is production ready, I want to upgrade my InfluxDB from 1.8 to 2.0. The official documentation consists exactly this subject and provides the command ‘influxd upgrade’. But there is no upgrade command! There es only: backup, config, help, restore, run, version. Where is th…

As a follow-up to this (since this title seems generic to the 1.8.x to 2.0 upgrades), I followed the instructions in Upgrade from InfluxDB 1.x to 2.0 | InfluxDB OSS 2.0 Documentation and used influxd upgrade against my /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf file. The upgrade went fine, and the logs that print…

I figured out the issue here, there was remnant data from a previous attempt at installing/upgrading Influx. I also found that running sudo -u influxdb influxd upgrade to run the upgrade as the user that is created for this service can also help set up permissions correctly.

I am struggling with this same thing. I am running the ‘influxd upgrade’ command and I am able to see the log complete the migration from the databases to buckets. I can not find any errors from the upgrade that stand out in the logs. Everything appears to migrate correctly. However, when I login to…

i followed the exact same steps and had the same results. i went poking around with influx a bit and created a user with read/write access to the bucket based on the logs: {“level”:“info”,“ts”:1613602189.1908314,“caller”:“upgrade/database.go:99”,“msg”:"Creating bucket ",“Bucket”:“telegraf/autogen”…

[image] ajstimer: Go to portal and create admin user @ajstimer , the admin user is created during the upgrade process. It looks as the server points to another data location than the upgrade. Check influxd logs, please, and make sure it is reading data files from the same location where upgrad…

@VlastaHajek Thanks for the response! I can see where the logs are showing the new path going to the …/influxdb2 i.e. {“level”:“info”,“ts”:1613660493.4088225,“caller”:“upgrade/database.go:156”,“msg”:“Copying data”,“source”:"/var/lib/influxdb/data/metricdata/autogen",“target”:"/root/.influxdbv2/eng…

You have to check InfluxDB server logs to see which data path is used: journalctl -u influxdb

Thanks for the help! @VlastaHajek I created another V1.8 instance and added some data and users then upgraded. I followed the journal logs and copied the data path just to be sure. then service influxdb stop influxd --engine-path=~/.influxdbv2/engine export INFLUXD_ENGINE_PATH=~/.influxdbv2/en…

Now it’s time to migrate to 2.x but since I’m newcomer in using docker I need your guidance I running influxdb version 1.8.2 on a Synology NAS with docker support. [image] Where to start Backup database Download latest inxluxdb container 2.0/2.0.9 Stop influxdb 1.8.2 container …and now What…
