Guys,

I upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1, and when I hit my home page I am seeing the following…

[http://awx.magidesign.com/migrations\_notran/#/login](http://awx.magidesign.com/migrations_notran/#/login)

AWXis currently upgrading.

This page will refresh when complete.

It’s stuck on that for an hour now. Is there a log that I can trail to see what is going on?

If you are using a docker image you can get logs from

docker logs -f \<container\_id\>

Any update on when lossless updates will be implemented? Despite all the great features of AWX, the lack of a true upgrade path is a blocking issue.

If you are using the docker-based install then upgrades should mostly go fine… if you see otherwise then let us know by posting specific errors.

If you are using a non-container based install then you should contact the maintainer of that installer (it’s not us).
