The documentation says I should be able to upgrade from beta versions to newer releases. This latest problem happened even when I was trying to go from 1.2.0.Beta3 to 1.2.0.Final. Since that did not work, I waited a while hoping a later version would improve the situation. People often do what they are not supposed to. Expecting people to only upgrade from Final release to Final release seems like wishful thinking and may lead to unhappy customers, even if they are wrong.

I use Discourse ( http://www.discourse.org/ ) for messaging in my application. I run Keycloak inside a Docker container just like Discourse. Discourse gives me an admin landing page that tells me every time I log in if I am up to date. If I am not, a little sad face tells me I need to upgrade. All I have to do to upgrade is click a button and everything happens automatically. The data is migrated, the docker container is updated and the application is redeployed. It never fails and takes 5 minutes. Every time I need to upgrade Keycloak it is a month long ordeal. The database migration never works. I always have to export the data as json, then upload the file after I manage to get a fresh install of the latest version up and running. I understand Keycloak has a lot of parts and I really like it, but I wish the upgrade process would get some attention. It is a very painful process at the moment. _______________________________________________ keycloak-user mailing list keycloak-user(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/keycloak-user
