New issue after upgrade Foreman 2.5 to Foreman 3.X

Puppet classes in ConfigGroups cannot be added or removed. The web interface does not respond when you trying to add or remove puppet classes

3

To enable existing puppet classes after upgrading we need to do this :

foreman-installer -v --enable-puppet

Upgrading Foreman from 2.X to 3.X is clearly not a good idea: the migration workflow is not robust

Hi,

This issue concern only Foreman with Ubuntu upgrade.

If you upgrading Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 the installer will break your posgresql version. After upgradinf 20.04 postgresql-12 is running and postgresql-10 service is disabled.

There is no errors when you try to upgrade Foreman 3.0 with postgresql-12. I had to remove postgresql-12 and re-enable postgresql-10 service
