@ropetin commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2025):

This is not an official answer or anything, but this is to be expected given how Meilisearch works. To update to a newer version of Meilisearch you need to dump the database from the old version then import it into the new version. It's not a hard process but does take some steps as documented here: https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/update_and_migration/updating

I don't believe there is any functionality used in Karakeep that requires the newer version (at least it worked fine for me), so you likely would be fine to keep using 1.11.1 with Karakeep 0.24.1.

that link doesn't show how to import the dump? https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/update_and_migration/updating#step-3%3A-import-data

@Telmo you don't need re-import the dump, just trigger a reindex from the admin panel of karakeep

Can I suggest a way to handle this for future use? Is there a possibility to do, like, a push notification on Karakeep update that reminds people to do this once updating to the latest docker-compose file / updating via services like Watchtower, etc?

@FlamebergUA Meillisearch is technically database, and it's not recommended to auto-update databases with stuff like watchtower. I think I can write a documentation about how to do it though for people who want to do it.

HI @MohamedBassem , we can also add --experimental-dumpless-upgrade to the meilisearch to fix this issue.

docs for the same: https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/update_and_migration/updating#dumpless-upgrade

@HritwikSinghal seems like it's a new experimental feature, I'll wait before it's stable before adding it to the official docker compose.
