SQL Error during login

[girish]

@guyds yes, please. I think there is some bug in our migration logic. It uses some raw sql to migrate from ldap to oidc , maybe something is wrong there. Our own instance of mamoto migrated fine though

Unfortunately, since I'm using a free version of Cloudron I can only have 2 apps on a single Cloudron and therefore I'm not in the possibility to clone from an older version because I already have another app on that same Cloudron.
And when importing a backup on another Cloudron, the versions of the old and new app should be identical and I can only install the latest version of the app on the new Cloudron, so I would only be able to clone from the latest version.

Or is there a way to clone an older version of the app to another server?

I think there may be ways to install older versions of apps using the Cloudron CLI, but having never actually used it I couldn't tell you how.

@guyds mm, indeed that would be problematic. Are you able to send us a mail at support@cloudron.io , we can debug it directly then ?

[guyds]

@girish sure, I just sent an email to support.

Been debugging this a bit. The issue is that the brute_force_log table has a missing field in @guyds instance. Maybe a missing migration

mysql> describe brute_force_log;
+--------------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field              | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+--------------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id_brute_force_log | bigint      | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| ip_address         | varchar(60) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |                |
| attempted_at       | datetime    | NO   |     | NULL    |                |

OK, I had to do this:

• Run MySQL command UPDATE option SET option_value = "4.2.0" WHERE option_name = "version_core";
• sudo -E -u www-data -- /app/code/console core:update

Works now. This is document upstream in https://matomo.org/faq/how-to-update/faq_179/

Thanks @girish, I'm glad you found the issue.
Before posting here, I did a search on the error but that didn't bring me to the Matomo FAQ. Probably my search was too specific.

The question now is if/how this can be prevented in the future
For starters it might be a good idea to add this info to the documentation for the Matomo app?

[girish]

@guyds I think this was just a one off error specific to your instance. A migration was not run from 5-6 releases ago. I am not sure why, I just reran the migration.

As for docs, I prefer not to put these "sensitive" things there. I don't want our users to run commands by copy/pasting. This required some debugging before I ran those commands. One has to actually figure which migrations to run by inspecting the code.

[guyds]

@girish, fair enough.
I definitely understand your reasoning, but on the other side there is probably a good reason why the issue was added to the Matomo FAQ
