Where is the problem occurring?

I encountered the problem while interacting with the server (Backend)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Other

Current behavior

I have bumped my helm chart from 0.2.x to 1.0.1 and this is the error I get from the planka pod:

It's possible to create a temporary pod for the migration but I agree that it should be documented. You can use something like:

kubectl run db-upgrade --image=ghcr.io/plankanban/planka:2.0.0-rc.3 --restart=Never --env=DATABASE_URL=postgresql://planka:password@planka-postgresql:5432/planka --namespace=planka --command -- npm run db:upgrade
