How to downgrade from pgvecto-rs:pg15-v0.2.0 to pgvecto-rs:pg15-v0.2.0 ?

I have a dump.sql.gz file database from an Immich installation that used pgvecto-rs:pg15-v0.2.0 by mistake. I got it following the instructions here: https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/ I tried to restore it back to pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0 but I got a few errors. How can I successfully downgrade from pgvecto-rs:pg15-v0.2.0 to pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0? I don't want to keep using pgvecto-rs:pg15-v0.2.0. Thanks in advance!

Why? pg15 is fine
Darknicks

Because pg14 is the official one And now is getting changed to postgres:14-vectorchord0.3.0-pgvectors0.2.0 I don't want to have a different configuration/setup than the official one.

That's the error I'm getting when I try to restore

Going back to pg14 is more headache than just staying on pg15 There's literally no reason to downgrade We also have migration images for pg15 (and 16 fwiw)

I'm probably going to forget I have pg15 If in the future I have an issue just because I have pg15, I'll probably end up being frustrated for wasting so much time. It took a long time to migrate from the TrueNAS implementation of Immich to the official Docker Compose implementation That's why I would like to upgrade now to avoid any future headaches What does that mean? I apologize.

That is incredibly unlikely

The new image is also available for pg15

You can just use postgres:15-vectorchord0.3.0-pgvectors0.2.0 (replace the 14 with 15)
Darknicks
DarknicksOP2w ago
OK I hope I don't have issues in the future
Daniel
Daniel2w ago
I cannot guarantee you that But I can (almost) guarantee you it won't be because of pg15 :P
Darknicks
DarknicksOP2w ago
You would be surprised how long it took for me to migrate from TrueNAS apps to the Official Docker Compose implemenation
Daniel
Daniel2w ago
And we'll upgrade to pg18 at some point anyways, so by then you can upgrade as well and everyone will be on the same version :)

I don't know why TrueNAS used 15 when Immich recommends 14 I see. Thank you very much.

There’s no technical reason why immich needs 14, we just never changed the default In fact I’d personally recommend pg17 since it naturally has improvements over older versions But you can just use pg15 without worry as well

OK Thanks a lot
