This sounds like a previous database migration might have failed or got interrupted and the database is now in an unexpected state.

Do you have a backup of your workflows/credentials? If so, could you try simply creating a fresh database and import your backup?

having DB backup (sqlite3)

Hey there,

What versions did you upgrade from?

5

updated to [0.168.2 ] from February released version

6

Can you try installing 167 and seeing if you have the same issue?

7

0.167.0 working well omg :no_mouth:

docker run -d --net n8n \
--ip 172.12.0.4 \
-it \
--name n8n-hi  \
-p 5678:5678 \
 -v ~/.n8n:/root/.n8n \
n8nio/n8n:0.167.0

Did you try 168.0 and 168.1 as well? I updated mine to 168.2 on portainer today and didn’t hit the issue so we might need to do some more testing on it.

sure i will tested it

Happened to me going straight to 170.
I think the key is upgrading to 167 before going on.
167 contains a migration on that index with a “create if not exists”. Subsequent versions assume that this index exists and the migration cannot be completed if you come from previous versions.

Btw guys, you created the ACL, this is HUGE! Congrats!
