ActiveRecord::SubclassNotFound: The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: ā€˜Setting::Bootdiskā€™. This error is raised because the column ā€˜categoryā€™ is reserved for storing the class in case of inheritance. Please rename this column if you didnā€™t intend it to be used for storing the inheritance class or overwrite Setting.inheritance_column to use another column for that information.

Most likely you used to have bootdisk plugin installed and itā€™s no longer present. Either install it again or youā€™ll have to manually clean up your database. Try apt install ruby-foreman-bootdisk and try running migrations again.

Thank you Marek, here is what I did to fix it :

  • Remove provisionning templates of Kind ā€œBootdiskā€ in foreman UI.
  • In Postgres : delete from settings where category=ā€˜Setting::Bootdiskā€™;
