Update from ChirpStack OS 4.2.0 to 4.6.1?

ChirpStack Gateway OS
1

I have ChirpStack 4.2.0 running on a RAK7248. Is is possible to update directly from ChirpsStack OS 4.2.0 to 4.6.1? Are the earlier releases of ChirpStack OS downloads available to migrate incrementally?

I unsuccessfully attempted to upgrade my RAK7248 from Gateway OS 4.2.0 to 4.6.1 as follows:

  1. Download the latest Full sysupgrade image for Raspberry Pi.
  2. Backup my current 4.2.0 configuration using LuCi Backup/Flash Firmware “Generate Archive” command.
  3. Upload and install the latest sysupgrade image using the “Flash image…” command.
  4. Migrate the backup configuration from PostgreSQL to SQLite by downloading the .ipk package from Releases · chirpstack/chirpstack-pg-to-sqlite · GitHub, then navigating to System > Software and clicking the Upload package… button to upload the .ipk package.
  5. The database migration fails with the error “Query table errordial tcp [::1}]:5432: connect: connection refused”. (attached) PostgreSQL appears not to open.
  6. The Status->Overview indicates that ChirpStack was upgraded to 4.6.1 (attached).
  7. After enabling the Concentratord and MQTT Forwarder, I was able to get the ChirpStack login form after clicking Application → ChirpStack.
  8. ChirpStack login refused my formerly correct login credentials.
  9. The read-only file chirpstack.sqlite was created in the directory /srv/chirpstack.

I hope there is a fix so I can eventually upgrade my Gateway OS 4.2.0 and configuration to the latest Gateway OS.
