Migrate DB from 2. to 3.1

I am migrating from Indico 2 to 3.1 on a new VM, Centos7, using this installation doc Instead of “indico db prepare” I have restored from a dump.

I wish to know if I have done the right steps to backup and restore the database, because I am seeing log many errors/warnings, in celery.log.

My backup command is:
runuser -l indico -c 'pg_dump indico -Fc -f /opt/indico/db-backup/20220331.dump'

Restore command and the command messages are:

(indico) [indico@indico ~]$ pg_restore -d indico -O db-backup/20220331.dump
pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC:

pg_restore: warning: errors ignored on restore: 5

Celery.log has messages as below:

These warnings are fine to ignore. The errors in your second paste usually happen if you forgot to run indico db upgrade… this command is mentioned here btw: Upgrade — Indico 3.1 documentation

Hi,
According to the doc, when migrating from 2 to 3, one should restore from old db dump instead of doing indico db prepare

Correct. But you still need to run indico db upgrade (upgrade, not prepare)!

Just FYI, as of the next release we’re clearer about running the upgrade command; currently it’s just implied since the regular upgrade guide should still be taken into account in addition to the 2-to-3-specific parts.
