DB upgrade from 8 -> preview fails about redash HOT 4 CLOSED

If anyone runs into this, I was able to work around by updating to the stable release (10.1.0.b50633), manually upgrading the db, then switching to the preview release and manually upgrading the db again

from redash.

@Andrew-Roth Yeah, the published recommendation is to upgrade one major version at a time (eg from 8 -> 9, then upgrade again from 9 -> 10, etc) rather than doing the large jump directly from 8/9 to the preview image.

All the official guidance I've seen suggests going from v8 straight to v10, never using v9. The key for me here was going to 10.1 first rather than straight to preview.

"For best results you should upgrade Redash by one semantic version at a time. To move from V6 to V10, for example, you should upgrade V6 to V7 to V8 to V10."

"From V8 or earlier

Follow the complete steps outlined in the V10.0 release but use this Docker Tag in step 3: redash/redash:10.1.0.b50633
Read the Impact segment at this link. If your installation is affected, follow the instructions under the Patches heading to secure the secret fields in your database."

V8 to V10.

Interesting. I've never noticed that version skip before. 😄
