Cannot cleanup the deviceauth database

General Discussions

Hi,
I’m trying to upgrade from mender server 1.7.1 to 2.0.1 using the official 2.0 tutorial on mender website.

I created backups using the ../migration/dump-db script and with docker run -it --rm...... command.
Next, the tutorial says that I should cleanup the deviceauth db running this command:

docker-compose exec mender-device-auth /usr/bin/deviceauth maintenance --decommissioning-cleanup

but if I try to run it on my server (1.7.1 clean installation and up and running perfectly) it returns an error:

ERROR: No container found for mender-device-auth_1

Why? Am I doing something wrong?

thanks

I just had that problem. I couldn’t get the command to work with docker-compose but it did work with just docker but I had to look up the full name of the container with docker ps. I don’t know if the following is absolutely correct but it did work on my system:

docker exec menderproduction_mender-device-auth_1 /usr/bin/deviceauth maintenance --decommissioning-cleanup

Yes, it worked, thanks.

To the mender developers: which is the right way to do this? Is this an error in the documentation?

Odd, considering the docker documentation: https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/exec/, states that docker-compose exec is an alias for docker exec. Are you sure you did not misspell the container name the first time around?

I assume the container name was the problem as well, looking at it you initially tried running,

docker-compose exec mender-device-auth /usr/bin/deviceauth maintenance --decommissioning-cleanup

Which is what is in our docs.

And what worked was,

docker exec menderproduction_mender-device-auth_1 /usr/bin/deviceauth maintenance --decommissioning-cleanup

And I assume that running the following would have also worked,

docker-compose exec menderproduction_mender-device-auth_1 /usr/bin/deviceauth maintenance --decommissioning-cleanup

Unclear to me how stable the naming is, but probably a good idea to update docs with a note at least that you might need to lookup the name

Created PR to update the name in docs.

If i run docker-compose exec menderproduction_mender-device-auth_1 /usr/bin/deviceauth maintenance --decommissioning-cleanup

i get this error:

ERROR: No such service: menderproduction_mender-device-auth_1

How can I list docker-compose services, because if I run ‘docker-compose ps’ it returns an empty result.

the result of ./run ps is:
