Linux Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS Docker version 27.5.1 PMM 3.3.0 standard PMM installation performed, and worked well BUT We triyed to upgrade to 3.3.1, via UI, process starts, then stays forever on “Restarting PMM…” docker image ls show pmm-server:3.3.1, so ok docker container ls show pmm-server:3.3.1 up for 32 minutes (unhealthy) !! docker container logs pmm-server show multiple lines like : ```auto INFO spawned: ‘grafana’ with pid xxxxxINFO exited: grafana (exit status 1; not expected) ``` then : `INFO gave up: grafana entered FATAL state, too many start retries too quickly` `INFO exited: pmm-init (exit status 2; not expected)` `INFO spawned: ‘pmm-init’ with pid 3024` `INFO success: pmm-init entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs)` `INFO exited: pmm-managed (exit status 1; not expected)` `INFO spawned: ‘pmm-managed’ with pid 3366` `INFO success: pmm-managed entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs)` `INFO exited: pmm-init (exit status 2; not expected)` Seems Upgrade from UI does works … What can we do ?

In order to try something, i stopped the pmm-server container and restarted it UI said for 1 minute ‘upgrade in progress’ then the UI started normaly and all seems ok ! Now i have to upgrade the PMM clients (i hope with no problems 🙂 ) As i should upgrade the same pmm-server in produciton (3.3.0 to 3.3.1), (the current server is a ‘test’ server’) can you please still examine the logs to see if something explaines the failure ? Thanks Francis ---

Seems like ```auto 2025-08-07 09:45:47.280 UTC [644] FATAL: lock file "postmaster.pid" already exists 2025-08-07 09:45:47.280 UTC [644] HINT: Is another postmaster (PID 14) running in data directory "/srv/postgres14"? ``` caused the problem. removing this lock file should fix the problem. Seems like some race condition happened during initialization and that’s why this lock file wasn’t removed. it’s great that you could fix you problem by restarting PMM.
