Instalation ubuntu server
Good afternoon,
I installed Devolutions Server version 2024.3.2.0 on Ubuntu Server on a test machine whose disk died. So I set up a new server with Ubuntu Server, but the current Devolutions Server version is 2025.
It's working, but I wanted to recover the information, but I can't. I only have a SQL Server database backup.
Initializing the 2024 database with version 2025 doesn't work. How can I force the database update/upgrade?

Hello. Thank you for reaching out with these questions.
You now have a 2025 Devolutions Server for Linux. Correct? You have a database backup of the DVLS 2024 database. Correct?
You mentioned initializing the database with the 2025 DVLS is not working. Are you presented with an error or message for this initialization?
Do you have the encryption keys for the 2024 DVLS database?

Kind regards,
The only thing I have is the database file bk_20240830.bak.
I don't have any keys or any other information.
However, when I try to start the service, I get these errors, which seem to be due to some columns missing from the new database.
error --

Invalid column name 'NetworkAccessRules'.

Invalid column name 'Version'.
Meanwhile, I discovered a complete backup of the machine, which allowed me to restart the virtual machine on Proxmox.
However, I would like to know how to upgrade to the latest version? The Devolutions console doesn't allow managing the Linux server.
Another thing I understood is that the database backup is useless because even after setting up a new machine and recovering the database, it doesn't boot the Devolutions service.
It might be my own stupidity, but there isn't much information about the Devolutions server on Linux, and no one is exploring it.
