old wekan data migration

Wekan / General · July 9, 2019 at 9:12pm

I noticed that wekan older version 2.7 or 2.8 was using mongodb 3, but now it's switched to 4.x, and the mongodump and mongorestore doesn't seem to be able to migrate the data from older wekan to newer wekan. What should I do.

thanks

mongorestore --drop --port 27019 --noIndexRestore

It's mentioned as recent addition to https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Backup

Wekan does create indexes automatically anyway.

I added that noIndexRestore because I had the same problem and found that solution

It's weird that's what I did according to your instructions, it didn't give any errors at all restoring from dump of old database to new, all msgs r showing data imported properly . However, It's just not effective at all. The only explanation to mr is the version was from 3 to 4. And when I ran Mongo dump to the new version of wekan, I always gave out some errors about system versions, and dumped three databases in totals though. Will post some error msg and detailed logs later when I'm home. Maybe you can shed some light. Thx a lot
