Migration error on fresh startup running in k8s cluster

installation
#1

Hi!

I am running the latest version of discourse on a k8s cluster and upon startup and I keep getting this error:

    ERROR:  relation "translation_overrides" does not exist at character 454
STATEMENT:  SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
 	       pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid), a.attnotnull, a.atttypid, a.atttypmod,
 	       c.collname, col_description(a.attrelid, a.attnum) AS comment
 	  FROM pg_attribute a
 	  LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d ON a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND a.attnum = d.adnum
 	  LEFT JOIN pg_type t ON a.atttypid = t.oid
 	  LEFT JOIN pg_collation c ON a.attcollation = c.oid AND a.attcollation <> t.typcollation
 	 WHERE a.attrelid = '"translation_overrides"'::regclass
 	   AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
 	 ORDER BY a.attnum

I am guessing it has something to do with the initial setup and db migration, but I am wondering if anyone here might know why exactly this keeps happening.

Local setup is run with minikube and error logs are pulled from pgsql pod.
Discourse image used → bitnami/discourse:latest (https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-discourse)
Postgres image → postgres:11.9

Thank you and cheers!

In this case, I think you should ask it for them, you probably won’t find a solution here, given that you are using an unsupported install.

The place to create an issue is probably:

https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-discourse/issues

Or you can change your install to an official install (although I don’t know if you can run the official install in a k8s cluster).

Thank you for the help, much appreciated :slight_smile:

Hi all, we have been investigating this issue in Bitnami setups and we traced it back to the Discourse source code, as we could also reproduce it in the vanilla Discourse launcher using the official standalone.yml template:

$ ./launcher rebuild app
