Make sure you have a way to edit the database directly. For SQLite, PostgreSQL and MariaDB/MySQL, you can use the + respective command-line tools `sqlite3`, `psql` and `mysql`. +2. Get the name of the failing migration and append `.js` to it. + For example, if you encounter this error + ``` + == 20180306150303-fix-enum: migrating ======= + + ERROR: type "enum_Notes_permission" already exists + ``` + the name of the failed migration would be `20180306150303-fix-enum.js`. +3. Make sure HedgeDoc does not run and insert the name into the `SequelizeMeta` table. + Ensure your database shell is connected to the HedgeDoc database. The SQL-statement may look like this: + ```sql + INSERT INTO "SequelizeMeta" (name) VALUES ('20180306150303-fix-enum.js'); + ``` +4. Start HedgeDoc again and observe if it starts correctly. It may be necessary to repeat this process + and insert multiple migrations into the `SequelizeMeta` table. diff --git a/docs/mkdocs.yml b/docs/mkdocs.yml index f0dfb723..41e80659 100644 --- a/docs/mkdocs.yml +++ b/docs/mkdocs.yml @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ nav: - S3: guides/s3-image-upload.md - Migrate from Etherpad: guides/migrate-etherpad.md - Breaking Changes: guides/migrations-and-breaking-changes.md + - Migration Troubleshooting: guides/migration-troubleshooting.md - Terms of Use Setup: guides/providing-terms.md - Configuration: configuration.md - Developer: |
