Recovering Mealie v0.5.0 database

[bubbishdev]

Hi, I am trying to recover a Mealie instance from an old server. All I have are the files from the old server - I can't get docker to start. I have checked the images and the database are good (I can read data in the database).

I found this discussion (#1690) but it doesn't work in my situation.

I tried to create a Mealie v0.5.0 instance but docker outputs:

 x mealie Error manifest unknown

Here is the docker compose file:

services:
  mealie:
    container_name: mealie
    image: ghcr.io/mealie-recipes/mealie:v0.5.0
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 80:80
    environment:
      PUID: 1000
      PGID: 1000
      TZ: Europe/London
      # Default Recipe Settings
      RECIPE_PUBLIC: 'true'
      RECIPE_SHOW_NUTRITION: 'true'
      RECIPE_SHOW_ASSETS: 'true'
      RECIPE_LANDSCAPE_VIEW: 'true'
      RECIPE_DISABLE_COMMENTS: 'false'
      RECIPE_DISABLE_AMOUNT: 'false'
      # Gunicorn
      # WEB_CONCURRENCY: 2
      # WORKERS_PER_CORE: 0.5
      # MAX_WORKERS: 8
    volumes:
      - ./mealie/data:/app/data

Is there a way to manually migrate the data from v0.5.0 to the latest (v1.12.0)?

I can't find where I saved any of the backups.

Please feel free to ask for more information if you need it.
Thank you for your time

We only started publishing to GHCR starting with v1.0.0-RC1.1. You'll want to pull 0.5.0 from DockerHub instead

Thank you! I managed to create the container and download the zip file. It imported flawlessly into v1.12.0!
