@tgxworld , I think this is in your wheelhouse. Trying to restore a backup from Discourse 2.1.0.beta5 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 8da2d8df3d5f7196f1c267b8a664597a725241ac or "Discourse 2.1.0.beta5 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version bed34b52b51ab903bcb7854cc1efb2bf4…

Going to have to ship this into the Support category, there could be some sort of bug here, but we need a proper repro that works consistently. Can you consistently make this fail?

Me too got this issue now. What I did: I did a backup with discourse 2.5.0.beta4. as root git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse cd /var/discourse cp /var/production-backup/var/discourse/containers/app.yml /var/discourse/containers/ mkdir -p /var/discourse/…

Can you restore it via the UI ?

Something is not right about your backup. Can you extract it on local and load it into a PG database? The gzip contains 2 files … 1 backups of PG and 1 uploads directory.

I am getting the same error as the OP regarding “theme_fields” even on a brand new Discourse installation. E, [2020-06-04T16:32:44.492756 #2024] ERROR -- : PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: relation "theme_fields" does not exist LINE 8: WHERE a.attrelid = '"theme_fields"'::regclass …

Are you running the latest version of Discourse? Is this an upgrade from an ancient version of Discourse?

This is a brand new fresh install of Discourse 2.4, no previous anything. I also tried upgrading to Postgres 12. Error still appears in my logs.
