Hi,

There is a significant gap between 3.3.0 and 5.3.0; at some time (Rundeck 4.1), you will move the H2 database (see here), and another migration for 5.0 is documented here.

I recommend reverting to 3.3, exporting your data, and importing it into a fresh Rundeck 5.3.0 instance. However, the key recommendation is to run your Rundeck new instance against a "real backend" such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. H2 is only used for testing. This guide should help you.

Regards.
