Image Artist: Image Artist 1.5 upgrade fails when deploying the stack due an attempt to update the existing SImA_datastore_secret

Problem:

During the upgrade to Image Artist 1.5, the ImA stack fails to deploy successfully at step 14.

Error:

"failed to update secret SImA_datastore_secret: Error response from daemon: rpc error: code = InvalidArgument desc = only updates to Labels are allowed"

Failed to deploy new stack with new images (exit code 1) at 2025-12-02T16:06:13+01:00
Please fix the problem and re-run upgrade with parameter '--from-step 14'

Cause:

At step 14 of the upgrade, the ImA stack is deployed. The problem likely occurs because the ImA stack is already deployed.

Reason:

The deployment script regenerates the datastore_secret file content every time the stack is deployed. If the SImA_datastore_secret already exists it tries to update the existing secret SImA_datastore_secret with new content, which Docker Swarm refuses. In Docker Swarm, secrets are immutable by design. Once a secret is created, you cannot change its content - you can only modify its labels.

Solution:

• Undeploy the ImA stack using the undeploy.sh script found inside the ImA installation directory
• Restart the upgrade --from-step 14.

e.g.

$ ./upgrade.sh --old-install-dir ../ImA-1.4.xx --from-step 14
