Upgrade from old version of KoBo (before March 2019, before kobo-install)

You can get kobo-install from GitHub - kobotoolbox/kobo-install: A command-line installer for setting up and running KoboToolbox on a remote server or local computer, using kobo-docker.. Pay attention to ensure that you get the shared-database-obsolete branch that @OlivierL specified above. For example:

git clone --branch shared-database-obsolete https://github.com/kobotoolbox/kobo-install

It may be much easier for you to start with a “fresh” kobo-install environment, using the shared-database-obsolete branch, and then copy your kobo-docker/.vols directory into that new environment. I’ve described that in a response to your other post: Upgrading to separate databases for KPI and KoBoCAT - #19 by jnm.

Please be careful. Take backups before doing anything. We cannot guarantee quick help if something goes wrong.
