Can't upgrade self hosted from 1.0d

Alta Control

I’m guessing that updating through the UI does not do a full update. In my control docker image that I’ve only updated through the UI, I see

root@891cd3aaf0f1:/# dpkg -l postgr* |grep ^ii
ii  postgresql-15             15.6-1.pgdg22.04+1 amd64        The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database
ii  postgresql-client-15      15.6-1.pgdg22.04+1 amd64        front-end programs for PostgreSQL 15
ii  postgresql-client-common  259.pgdg22.04+1    all          manager for multiple PostgreSQL client versions
ii  postgresql-common         259.pgdg22.04+1    all          PostgreSQL database-cluster manager

I’m fine with Alta Labs using the overlayFS for volatile data, but there should be an easy way to take a downloaded backup of control and use it to restore a fresh installation. That should be an option when you first bring up control.

Under Settings->System->Advanced there is a Backup and Restore option that can be used to do exactly what you want.

As far as the other issues, we are still at a loss on how to reproduce postgres updates that require manual intervention, etc. None of the steps described cause any problems for us in our testing, but we’re happy to take a look if you can provide a video, etc. with more clear instructions.
