Congratulations on getting v2.0 out.

However, pulling "latest" tag only gives arm64, not all others. I'm not sure if that's oversight, or intentional, but I have to use the 2.x tag to pull the version I need.

Hi, yeah there were issues with building the release image for 2.0 and all but the latest were correctly pushed. Building the image now, should be available in a few minutes. Using 2.x however is not that bad either.

Ran through the upgrade guide, but for some reason I can't access the web ui via the IP

I did get the fresh install working! Is there a way to restore from the old backup (on a previous version) to the new machine?

[jaspermayone]

I moved stuff over manually, so I should be all set now.

I can't ready anything wrong out of the logs. But glad you made it with a fresh install.

For the record: LinkAce stores all important data in the database. To restore all data, one can import the old database to the new one. The database is always part of the backups. It needs some manual work as LinkAce has no feature to overwrite itself with some database file yet (#247).

Yea, I realized that. I ended up pushing the sql backup into a fresh db on my mac, then converting that to a CSV, then using a python script to just call the API to add each link to my new server. Not the greatest solution, but it worked!

Thanks so much for your help, linkace is amazing and literally the tool I use the most of any of my homelab services!

I have a working updated apple shortcut for V2 if anyone wants it
