Upgrading to a more current version of Inventree

[stefanschumacheratwork]

Hello everybody

We are currently using an older version of Inventree. It identifies itself as a 14Beta, I got it as Debian package from packager.io. I am using Debian 12 but the packages for Debian 11 also work. When I try to upgrade it first downloads a version 13.something and then breaks the installation. Nginx and Inventree are running, but opening the site in a browser only shows an error 502.

Are there any plans to create packages for current Debian versions like Bookworm and very soon Trixie?

I would like to make a clean install of 0.17 stable and import my data from the old version. My personal preference would very much be a package but it seems that is not an option: "Supported OSs are Debian 11 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS."
The Installer also only works on Debian 11 and Ubuntu 20.04.

That means that two options remain: Bare Metal and Docker. Which would you recommend? As I said, I would like to import my data and in general I prefer bare metal setups to dockerized versions of software but if there is no current repo I tend to go to the version that is easiest to install and to upgrade later on. Considering this, should I go for docker or the bare metal Installation?

Yours
Stefan

We would need someone willing to step in to maintain these packages. We have a very small dev team and maintaining multiple install methods for different distros is a lot of work

and then breaks the installation

but opening the site in a browser only shows an error 502.

Some more information here (error code, logs, etc) would be really helpful!

but if there is no current repo I tend to go to the version that is easiest to install and to upgrade later on. Considering this, should I go for docker or the bare metal Installation?

My personal recommendation would be docker as it is completely self contained and easiest to update:

I went the docker way - my anonymized .env follows. Unfortunately something is still broken. If I do a a docker-compose up the screen is flooded with messages. I redirected the errors to a file, hope that its small enough to attach it. There is at least one python error in it.
Oh, and by the way: How can I disable the Postgresql-Container and use Sqlite3. I know our database will be very small as databases go. Will it cause further problems if I disable redis for a small installation?

EDIT: env kills layout, attached instead.

From your error logs you have clearly not run the initial update step as per the documentation
