Migration of database from server running 2.9 to server running 3.07

[perdingus]

Good morning, I've experienced an error migrating the DB from a server running Netbox 2.9 to a server running 2.10. Here are the steps I took to migrate and the resultant error. Grateful if someone could shed some light on what I've done wrong.

Migration of database from Netbox 2.9 to 3.07

Netbox 2.9 ('old'
psql --version 10.15

Netbox 3.07 ('new')
psql --version 12.8

New installation of Netbox 3.07. Netbox 2.9 on an air-gapped system so cannot do an online upgrade (unless anyone can advise me how to edit the upgrade.sh script to enable me to upgrade from loacl packages...)

Steps taken on old version:
pg_dump --username netbox --password --host localhost netbox > netbox.sql
Then copied the resultant file to new installation.

Steps taken on new version:

Set the secret key in the configuration.py to the same value as the old server.
Stopped the netbox service
sudo -u postgres psql -c 'drop database netbox'
sudo -u postgres psql -c 'create database netbox'
sudo -u postgres psql -c 'grant all privileges on database netbox to netbox
sudo -u postgres psql netbox < netbox.sql
ran python3 manage.py from within the virtual enviroment (source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate)
restarted the netbox service.

Thanks in advance

The problem is that you can't migrate directly from 2.9 to 3.0.  You have to migrate first to 2.11.x, then to 3.0.x.  This is called out in the release notes for 3.0:

https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/release-notes/version-3.0/#v300-2021-08-30

In theory you're supposed to read all the release notes before upgrading:

https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/upgrading/#review-the-release-notes

but there are rather a lot of them!

Therefore I suggest you read just the release notes for the .0 patch release in each train.  In your case that's 2.10.0, 2.11.0 and 3.0.0

[perdingus]

Thank you Brian, stupid error!

[perdingus]

To anyone who stumbles across this post:

I had to migate from 2.9 to 2.11 to 3.0.0 and then to 3.0.7.

When i tried to migrate the DB from 2.11 to 3.0.7 I recieved exactly the same error as in my original post.

Thanks

[Brian Candler]

As one step of the migration from 2.9 to 2.11, you will have run "./upgrade.sh" - and amongst other things, this applies database migrations (schema changes).

The same would be true as you upgraded from 2.11 to 3.0

One or both of those stages must have given an error, and *that's* the error you need to show so that we can help you diagnose the problem.  Or else you didn't run "./upgrade.sh" in which case that's your problem.

[Christian Vo]

my high level notes when I had to deal with this recently:

overall steps
upgrade to 2.11 (no issues)

install python3.8
set path for python3.8
export PYTHON

follow install guide and setup parallel directory,  re-pointing /opt/netbox to the new directory...
copy files..
copy contrib/gunicorn.py to /opt/netbox...
run upgrade script but make sure it's referencing python3.8
use debug environment to identify any outstanding errors... 

reddit forum also helped :)

Hey Christian,

Great follow-up. I am currently building up a new Netbox server (server B) to replace our old Netbox server (server A). 

Would you recommend upgrading Server A (2.8.1) to 2.11 then exporting the settings to server B (3.0.8)? 

Did you experience any outage of Netbox during the upgrade?

[Christian Vo]

yes its a must do. no outages encountered =)

Hey Christian,

So your recommendation would be to upgrade from 2.9 (or 2.8 in my environment) to 2.11? 

Did you experience any outage of Netbox during the upgrade?

Cool beans, thank you. Can we use the upgrade method currently outlined for each iteration (2.8 -> 2.9 -> 2.10, etc)?

https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/upgrading/

[Brian Candler]

You could, but it's not needed.  Use the method once to go from 2.8 to 2.11, and then again from 2.11 to 3.0

If Netbox was installed from a git checkout (option B), and you are doing an in-place upgrade, then there's a trick to get the intermediate version in a temporary or "detached" branch:

sudo git pull

sudo git checkout v2.11.12

sudo ./upgrade.sh

sudo git checkout master

sudo ./upgrade.sh

Hi Brian,

It didn't work out well. After the upgrade, I got an 'Internal Server Error'. 

I searched the forums and ran a couple of commands you suggested:

I noticed it kept referencing python 3.6. I did update python to 3.8.1 and ran this command:  sudo PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.8.1 ./upgrade.sh

Was I supposed to do that within the Netbox environment? If so, how do I do that? I am a novice with Linux so I am learning on the fly. 

Also, this is a CentOS server. The replacement server is an Ubuntu server but I have to upgrade the existing CentOS server to 3.0 before I can migrate over to the Ubuntu server. 

[owup]

This is going to be embarrassing:

I ran option A for the upgrade. Should I have gone w/ option B? How do I know the original installation was a git pull? I did try running the upgrade again using the above suggested

sudo git pull

sudo git checkout v2.11.12

sudo ./upgrade.sh

sudo git checkout master

sudo ./upgrade.sh

but it errored out. I assume that means it wasn't a git install?

[owup]

Adding a little more info during the upgrade proccess:

Successfully installed django-auth-ldap-3.0.0 pyasn1-0.4.8 pyasn1-modules-0.2.8 python-ldap-3.3.1

You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 21.3.1 is available.

You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

When you say "After the upgrade", do you mean to 2.11 or to 3.0?  At exactly which point did you see this, what were the two previous commands you had typed?

> File "/opt/netbox/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/backends/django.py", line 25, in __init__

You are apparently running Netbox under python 3.6, which will work for 2.11 but not for 3.0

[owup]

Hi Brian,

Thanks again for the follow-up. 

I meant 2.11. After restarting the NetBox service and getting the 'Internal Service Error,' I attempted the upgrade process again to 2.11 using Option B w/o success (I guess that means the original build wasn't a git pull).  

Since python 3.6 will work for the 2.8 to 2.11 upgrade, I guess it isn't a python error. Do you know what else it could be?

Somebody else reported the same problem recently, and for them the solution was to edit requirements.txt to specify an older version of django-rq.  See:

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions/7655

It's becoming difficult to install older versions of Netbox, because Netbox doesn't pin ("freeze") its dependency tree.  A version of netbox which installed successfully at time T1, may not work if you try to install the exact same version at later time T2, because in the mean time newer versions of the indirect dependencies have come out which are not compatible.  I've seen this several times now.

However, I haven't seen it before with anything as recent as 2.11.  Which exact version of 2.11 are you using?  Is it 2.11.12 or an older one?  And also could you confirm what OS type and version you're installing netbox on?  This will make the issue easier to reproduce.

I wonder if Jeremy might reconsider the decision not to use "pip freeze". That would make netbox installations reproducible, and remain so over time.

[owup]

Good afternoon,

Brian - thank you again for your follow-up. It has been so much appreciated.

I can report back w/ more details tonight but I am pretty sure this is accurate:

OS: CentOS 7

Netbox current version: 2.8.1

Netbox attempting to upgrade to: 2.11.12

What I did previously - upgrades:

Python to v3.9 
PostgreSQL (none - already at 9.6)
Redis to v6.2

The CentOS system is is a system I inherited. 

I have built a replacement system with Ubuntu 20.04. 

I am trying to upgrade the existing system to 2.11 so I can move the database over to the new Ubuntu system (documenting along the way of course!). 

I will hopefully get a chance to update the requirement.txt tonight, attempt the upgrade, and will report back then. Thank you again!

[owup]

Editing requirements.txt to django-rq==2.3.2 allowed the upgrade to complete w/o erroring out but the version number didn't change on the web interface. 

I modified requirements.txt in /opt/netbox. 

Maybe I should have made that change everywhere (/opt/netbox; /opt/netbox-2.8.1; /opt/netbox-2.11.12) but I think I'm getting closer. 

[owup]

I almost feel I should rehash everything...so I will, haha.

I'm having issues upgrading from 2.8.1 to 2.11.12.

OS: CentOS 7

Initially had issues with the upgrade script completing.

This was resolved by editing /opt/netbox/requirements.txt and changing the line django-rq==2.3.1  to django-rq==2.3.2

I reran the upgrade process doing the following from the root directory of the VM:

wget https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/archive/v2.11.12.tar.gz

sudo tar -xzf v2.11.12.tar.gz -C /opt

sudo ln -sfn /opt/netbox-2.11.12/ /opt/netbox

sudo cp /opt/netbox-2.11.12/local_requirements.txt /opt/netbox/

sudo cp /opt/netbox-2.11.12/netbox/netbox/configuration.py /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/

sudo cp /opt/netbox-2.11.12/netbox/netbox/ldap_config.py /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/

sudo cp -pr /opt/netbox-2.11.12/netbox/media/ /opt/netbox/netbox/

sudo cp -r /opt/netbox-2.11.12/netbox/scripts /opt/netbox/netbox/

sudo cp -r /opt/netbox-2.11.12/netbox/reports /opt/netbox/netbox/

sudo cp /opt/netbox-2.11.12/gunicorn.py /opt/netbox/

from /opt/netbox of the VM, I ran:

sudo ./upgrade.sh

This was the output:

.....

I restarted the netbox service:

I checked the version number from the web server and it still shows 2.8.1. My assumption is the upgrade didn't take place. 

I searched the forums and a user suggested (https://groups.google.com/g/netbox-discuss/c/zY6LQnox5hQ) running the following to determine the status of the migration:

I'm wondering - 

1. Can I upgrade from 2.8.1 to 2.11.12
2. If not, what is the upgrade path to get from 2.8.1 to 2.11.x (and ultimately, 3.x.x)
3. If yes, what might I have overlooked above?

If it helps, after the "upgrade", the Netbox appliance is fully accessible.

I see no reason you can't upgrade from 2.8 to 2.11.  Just to validate, what does "ls -la /opt" show you?
