Update to version 6.11 failing: tc_actions is already a hypertable

Version 6.11 is not starting on my Docker swarm:

I have now fixed my tag to 6.10 and that remains to work.

Any tips?

The problem is that you upgraded to 6.11.0 first, which had an issue. You should restore the database and upgrade directly to 6.11.1.

Oops.. no manual fix possible? I am running just the latest tag and it happened automatically.
I do not have a backup of the previous version...

If it's not possible to fix manually I will just remove and recreate the database, I am still evaluating / testing Traccar and devices.

You can fix it manually. You need to recreate the tc_actions as a normal table.

I tried but that did not help me. So I just destroyed the database, recreated an empty one, but using the latest docker tag I still get the same error.

Also explicitly using 6.11.1 as docker tag results in the same error.

So essentially I now get this error on a fresh install of 6.11.1.

I know for a fact that a clean TimescaleDB database works correctly with 6.11.1 because we already deployed quite of few servers with this version.

OK; I started it with a new seperate postgres container instead of using my existing cluster and it worked. So there is probably something left in the database that is not deleted. I'll figure it out.

Thanks!

Hi Anton Tananaev, we have same problem

ERROR: Exception Details
Jan 02 traccar[52843]: ERROR: Exception Primary Class:  PSQLException
Jan 02 traccar[52843]: ERROR: Exception Primary Reason:  ERROR: table "tc_actions" is already a hypertable

We have same problem.
I upgraded to version 6.11.1 following your suggestion, but the same error persists with postgre16+pgboncer and timescledb variations in 6.11.1.

The issue is that you installed 6.11.0 first.

We expect a high number of devices, so we considered and set up the database and application as separate servers. After the error I received, we upgraded PS16 to PS17, and ran traccar again with 6.11.1, but the error persisted. So, what would your "The issue is that you installed 6.11.0 first." suggestion be in this situation?

Suggestion is to restore the database before 6.11.0 upgrade and upgrade directly to 6.11.1.

Здравствуйте. Debian 13, сервер 6.10.0, PostgreSQL 17 с timescale. Обновляюсь скачанным файлом с официального сайта traccar.run, до версии 6.11.1, получаю ошибку ERROR: table "tc_actions".
Но если собираю из исходного кода, то нет ошибок. То есть получаю сервер и приложение 6.11.1 и всё работает, кроме экспорта отчётов, а именно в сформированном отчёте пропала информация о названии устройства и его группе.

It means you upgraded to 6.11.0 first.

А как же отчёты? В сформированном отчёте отсутствует информация о названии устройства и его группе.
В версии 6.11.1 https://disk.yandex.ru/i/QanDtY5xEXFk-Q
А раньше было 6.10.0 https://disk.yandex.ru/i/uhA_LgGAyW1TSA
Установил 6.11.1 с нуля и вопрос по отчётам остаётся открытым.

I recommend a separate thread for that because it's completely unrelated to this topic.
