Update Core NS8

NethServer Version: 8
Module: Nextcloud

Hi i have a problem with the core update.

I can’t upgrade.

It’s my version of nethserver :

I have made a dnf update that’s ok.

But if i do :

api-cli run update-core --data ‘{“core_url”:“ghcr.io/nethserver/core:latest","nodes”:[1]}’

i have this :

_acontrol_task request attempt failed (Connection closed by server.). Retrying…
_acontrol_task request recovered successfully at attempt 2

Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

thank you.

oh i have forgot that :

Updates are suspended

There is an ongoing NS7 migration. Updates will resume once the migration is complete.

Wait tomorow after 12hours….

This command is wrong, it uses a “latest” version which has unpredictable effects. Never use it on production systems, it’s just for testing purposes!

Luckily it does not really run the update because “latest” is not a Semver string :slight_smile:

If the migration was finished, refer to release notes of 8.3 for the commands that clear the stale Redis DB keys: Release notes — NS8 documentation

As alternative, wait the grace period of 12 hours.
