cannot upgrade to the last version

[sarce666]

hello

i m using the version 2.8.3
i have mariadb
when i upgrade to 2.10.2 i get this error :

Failed to install app nextcloud-services. Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "nextcloud-services-mariadb" with kind StatefulSet: StatefulSet.apps "nextcloud-services-mariadb" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: updates to statefulset spec for fields other than 'replicas', 'template', and 'updateStrategy' are forbidden

i understand that the statefulset cannot be upgrade but it the helm chart that create the mariadb as a stateful
how can i fix this ?

thanks

It is normally safe to delete a StatefulSet resource. Then you should be able to re-deploy.

Persisted data in PVCs, Secrets etc. is not affected. But it will create downtime between the deletion of the resource and when the resource gets recreated.

I deleted my StatefulSet and it deleted my whole database. Not sure what went wrong there. I was on chart 2.8.2 and upgraded to chart 2.12.2, maybe upgraded too many chart versions at once? I thought I had checked everything

Luckily, my instance isn't used much, and I had a backup from last night. Highly recommend caution prior to performing a Nextcloud update through the chart.

We'll be adding some additional info on upgrades to our docs soon in #602, and in the meantime, we recommend that you walk your upgrades forward slowly from one minor version to the next, and then to the next major version, when it comes to databases or the nextcloud docker tag. As this is an old issue from a couple of years ago, with no response from the original poster since 2021, I'm going to close it. We apologize for any confusion with this chart in the past 🙏
