Error on upgrade Afresco CE 6.2 to 7.3

[nx3]

Hi

currently I am trying to migrate and update our Alfresco CE from 6.2 in Docker to 7.3 with zip-install.

I successfully got the 7.3 zip-install running with all/most of the encryption running.

I successfully extracted the PostgreSQL-db and alf_data Folder from the Docker containers. After restoring the database and placing the contentstore in the appropriate location, I get the following error during startup:

Could someone help me getting this running?

Take keystore from 6.2 or just upgrade your docker-compose.yml with 7.3 images and configuration and continue use docker.

I'd like to do that, unfortunately I do not know where the keystore is located.
Could you tell me where or how I could find it? What is when there is none?

This would certainly be a possibility, but unfortunately I have to dismiss it for several reasons:

• I do not feel confident enough to continue support docker.
• There are multiple docker-compose.yml on the system and the person originally deploying it cannot tell me which one he used.
• As far as I can tell there is no actual volume for the alfresco contentstore (there seams to be no volume mounted to the repository container), which probably means redeploying will not work and actually break alfresco.
• I did a clone of the original Machine (VM) and when trying to bring up the environment on the clone the containers where not able to talk to each other. I would like to avoid this kind of problems in the future.

Hi

is someone able to help me here?

I'd like to find the keystore in my old installation if there is one, but I do not know where to find it.
If there is no keystore I would like to know how I can get my new installation to run with the old Data.
