Trying to upgrade to v3.7.8 from v3.6.7 to upgrade to latest v4

[Jeffrey-FB]

Hi all

I've managed to install python3.11 and python3.12
But I've been having some trouble upgrading to v3.7.8
I had to do a git fetch to be able to check out v3.7.8
then i did a git checkout v3.7.8
then i did the sudo ./upgrade.sh

Which not reading all the text and it was installing v4.0.6
I set the python variable and run the install

then broke here.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Django tried to replace migration dcim.0182_zero_length_cable_fix with any of [dcim.0167_squashed_0182] but wasn't able to because some of the replaced migrations are already applied.

Now realizing is was installing v4.0.6.
I'm assuming if i can manage to upgrade to v3.7.8
This will repair it's self or is it dead?

If upgrading to v3.7.8
Could some one help me to get it to upgrade v3.7.8?
Why is it trying to install v4
`netbox-new:/opt/netbox$ sudo git branch

• (HEAD detached from v3.7.8)
  master`

  Do i need to do something with the sudo git pull origin master other than just a git pull

I follow the migration docs here: https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/installation/upgrading/

From 3.6.7 you can upgrade to 3.7.8 but you'll need to specify the version tag on the git checkout instead of master:

Look for the section under "Option B: Clone the Git Repository" and "Checking out an older release".

If you pull the update branch it should migrate ok. If you haven't done it I would highly recommend backing up the database and if your running a VM take a snapshot before you start.

Looks like it was a glitch.
I restored my vm from a previous snapshot.
Then the steps worked seamlessly.

I'm not on v4.0.6
Thanks for the help.
