I introduced this problem here: ["Showing 0 of 1 device pending authorization": device missing in authorization interface](https://hub.mender.io/t/showing-0-of-1-device-pending-authorization-device-missing-in-authorization-interface/2529) not knowing if the two issues where related. Since it seems not to be the case I’m opening a new topic for clarity and better issue tracking Using Mender Open Source 2.5.0 Creating a deployment targeting a group fails with: “Error creating deployment. internal error [Request ID: ac3001e3]” Instead if targeting ‘all devices’ there is no error and the deployment goes as expected. On “Release” tab I click on “CREATE A DEPLOYMENT WITH THIS RELEASE”. Then I select one of the groups I have. Then “NEXT”. Then “CREATE”. Here I have the error. If instead I select “All devices” instead of a group the error doesn’t happen. ```auto set 30 18:44:21 mender run[12181]: mender-deployments_1 | time="2020-09-30T16:44:21Z" level=error msg="tenant ID not present in the context" file=app.go func="app.(*Deployments).CreateDeployment" line set 30 18:44:21 mender run[12181]: mender-deployments_1 | time="2020-09-30T16:44:21Z" level=error msg="Internal error" file=view.go func="view.(*RESTView).RenderInternalError" line=58 request_id=e8395 set 30 18:44:21 mender run[12181]: mender-deployments_1 | time="2020-09-30T16:44:21Z" level=info msg="500 1078μs POST /api/management/v1/deployments/deployments/group/lorac-dev HTTP/1.1 - Mozilla/5.0 ``` Here the logs of the service from boot, with a failed deployment to a group and a successful deployment to “All devices”: [https://mega.nz/file/j352UZyT#DwWnO5PBDjtXQS75RLsX6pqhntP2qu9JqkAZA98E-ck](https://mega.nz/file/j352UZyT#DwWnO5PBDjtXQS75RLsX6pqhntP2qu9JqkAZA98E-ck) The machine has Debian Buster installed, docker and docker-compose from Debian repositories: ``` docker.io==18.09.1+dfsg1-7.1+deb10u2 docker-compose==1.21.0.3 ``` I previously run on the same machine v2.4.0 of Mender, and I never encountered this problem. Thank you for your help ---

hello @spratesi as a workaround could you please change deployments and inventory images in the docker compose file to: ```auto mendersoftware/deployments:mender-2.5.x mendersoftware/inventory:mender-2.5.x ``` Please take a [backup](https://docs.mender.io/2.5/server-installation/backup-and-restore) of the installation first. I am once again sorry for this. peter ---

> [@peter](#): > > as a workaround could you please change deployments and inventory images in the docker compose file to: > > mendersoftware/deployments:mender-2.5.x > mendersoftware/inventory:mender-2.5.x Just to explain more to the uninitiated (like me), you need to: 1. delete your old _deployments_ and _inventory_ containers from the system (`docker container ls` and `docker container rm ...`). Be careful to remove the correct ones! 2. change the two lines quoted above in prod.yml from “2.5.0” to “2.5.x” 3. Then re-run `./run pull` and `./run up -d` to recreate the _deployments_ and _inventory_ containers from image version “2.5.x”, which has the necessary corrections. Cheers! ---

Thank you very much, it worked perfectly. To be noted : the file to change is **docker-compose.yml** not **prod.yml**
