Upgrade hiccup? Question about Redis
I upgraded Overleaf CE from 3.5.5 to 4.0.2 (initially I thought that the prior upgrade to 3.5.7 was only needed for the Pro version) and the upgrade script ended without errors. After that, I added REDIS_IMAGE=redis:6.2 to config/overleaf.rc as suggested by the release notes. I also later did the project migration to the new history system from v. 4.0.2 (it's an almost new installation anyway, only 1 document, I didn't care too much if it botched it up, but it didn't). Afer upgrading, I'm noticing a couple of weird things:
-
bin/up brings the Overleaf website up in a few seconds. If I start Overleaf with bin/start instead it takes about 2 minutes to come up (giving a bad gateway error in the meantime, I'm running it behind an nginx proxy and cloudflare dns). It does come up correctly in the end, but I wonder why it takes so much longer.
-
if I run docker ps to see the running docker, I get that I'm running the redis:5.0 image. Didn't it say on the release notes that the new version upgraded redis to v. 6.2, though? Everything is running correctly with the v. 5.0 image running even though in the config file I have the 6.2 parameter as stated above. What't happening?
Little update about the Redis part: I installed the full Latex and committed the new container as explained here: https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit/blob/master/doc/ce-upgrading-texlive.md and upon starting the new container with the last set of commands on the page it also downloaded and updated Redis to version 6.2
