Describe the bug*

Hello!

I had installed Inventree via docker on Ubuntu 24.04. After that I needed to create a separate OS (I install Ubuntu 20.04). I copied the database from docker, moved it to another VM and an error occurs during import.

Database on docker and Ubuntu are differents.
Docker - postgresql. Ubuntu - sqlite3.

Version Python too.
Docker - 3.11.9. Ubuntu - 3.9.5.

I update version Python on Ubuntu on 3.11.11, but in web I see old version.

Could you please tell me what the problem?

Expected behaviour

Import data from docker in new database on ubuntu.

Relevant log output

Hi there! Switching between Python versions in the os is not really supported. Your virtual environment will probably point to old references and not work anymore.
What deployment method are you using on the new instance? You will have to either fully uninstall inventree and install again or rebuild the venv - which is probably more involved.

[Noscopes063]

On the new VM I used package installer:
wget -qO install.sh https://get.inventree.org && bash install.sh

After that, Inventree was installed and I tried to import the database from the old VM (which was installed via Docker).
I can install it again, no problem)

[SchrodingersGat]

@Noscopes063 it looks like you have the wrong version of invoke installed on your new system.

https://docs.inventree.org/en/stable/start/invoke/?h=invoke

We need at least 2.0.0 - run invoke --version to see what version you have!

[matmair]

@SchrodingersGat not sure this was the issue from the traceback. @Noscopes063 can you confirm this fixed your issue?

[Noscopes063]

In new VM Invoke was less then 2.0, it's true.

So, I install the new VM Ubuntu 20.04. Update and upgrade it.
After install Invoke 2.2.0.

$ invoke --version
Invoke 2.2.0

Use this command from manual:
wget -qO install.sh https://get.inventree.org && bash install.sh

Installation completed successfully.
After that try to import my data from another VM (intalled via docker):
$ invoke import-records -c -f data.json
The installed python version (3.8.10) is not supported!
InvenTree requires Python 3.9 or above.

$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.10

If I update Python version I have another many errors.
How I could update Python version correctly?

[SchrodingersGat]

If I update Python version I have another many errors.

You need to solve these errors first - our installation guide assumes that you have the required packages installed..
