Existing agents and prompts go missing

[mansiibm]

What happened?

Hi I was using this image- up until now- v0.8.0-rc2 and all my agents were working properly and visible to me ,

Now I tried setting the image- docker pull ghcr.io/danny-avila/librechat-dev-api:a6fd32a15aa1e7c511858c215fa31af9dedfdfc1 and all my agents are wiped out-

I had to create a new one for this image.

So, after the dev-api image is active and I try running the migration I am facing this issue -

Please let me know if I am not doing something properly.

This is intentional, check your startup logs.

npm error location /app/api
npm error Missing script: "migrate:agent-permissions"

The location should be /app/ not /app/api

@mansiibm how did you get this to work? I cannot for the life of me get this script to run.

[mansiibm]

okay I can I help you here :) , so I have hosted LC in azure in the form of container app, and there in the console I get the the option to navigate to all the directories in LC, there is the option - /app/api where in I was trying. I do not know about your hosting :) , but I suggest if you can navigate to the folder - /app there you need to pass in the commands- npm run migrate:agent-permissions and npm run migrate:prompt-permissions so that the agents and the prompts are migrated. Hope this helps ! :)

for docker:
docker exec -it LibreChat /bin/sh

in /app folder
npm run migrate:prompt-permissions
npm run migrate:agent-permissions

thanks @rrdd, the other versions didn't work for me.

docker exec -it LibreChat-API /bin/sh

cd /app
npm run migrate:prompt-permissions
npm run migrate:agent-permissions

I'll leave a hint for those who cannot connect to Docker app container via SSH. For example, I couldn't because I host the app in Azure App Service as a container.

What helped me to run the migrations was to:

• modify the dockerfile's last lines to run the migrations before starting the app,
• deploy to Azure App Service,
• restart the app,
• revert the change, deploy again.

Code change in Dockerfile:

- CMD ["npm", "run", "backend"]
+ CMD sh -c "cd /app && npm run migrate:agent-permissions && npm run migrate:prompt-permissions && npm run backend"

... and the prompts are back! ;)

For anyone else stumbling across this who may have a hard time finding the script:

• If you're running docker exec -it LibreChat-API /bin/sh, by default you'll land in the path /app/api .. there is a folder named "app" in that path. This is not the right location. You want to be in the root /app directory
• Simply cd .. or cd /app and you'll be in the right directory, an ls should show the file package.json in the directory
• If you cat package.json you will see a scripts block with the available scripts
• In this directory you'll run the npm run migrate:prompt-permissions and npm run migrate:agent-permissions commands
