I have not been able to reproduce this issue unfortunately. Do you happen to have any further information from the logs? Perhaps the DB migrations at the beginning of the boulder container startup failed, but without any log messages there is not much I can do at the moment.

I did try two times, and it failed two times. Today I have tried it again, and it works ok.

What I noticed is that the install re- started using a new install script. I am pretty sure that this did not happen in my former unsuccessful trials. But who nows...

It seems this is nuch closer to my issue that the other topic i opened. I am on 25.03 trying to update to 25.09, every time i loose everything and even restoring a backup is not fixing things. Given i've tried something like 10 times i wonder if i'm making anything wrong :) @OliverSCE could you please confirm the update process? thanks!

Edit: eventually it seems that after another reboot the restore of a backup recreated accounts and certificates, but shouldn't the update process keep everything in place?

Edit2: and no, at every reboot all accounts and certs get wiped. going bck to proxmox backup..
