Luca 07f9110674 chore(migrations): renumber 108_add_backup_paths to 109 to avoid upstream collision
upstream/beta independently shipped 108_seed_sl_email_template_translations.js
(Slovenian email template translations) using the migration number
this branch had already claimed for 108_add_backup_paths.js. Knex's
filename-based ordering would have caused both to attempt the slot
at merge time.

Renamed via `git mv` so file history is preserved. All five
references updated in lockstep:
  - backend/src/services/_backupPathsBoot.js (require + comments)
  - backend/src/services/backupService.js (LEGACY_BACKUP_PATHS comment)
  - 3 integration test files (require + "migration 108" prose)
  - migration's own header comment, with a paragraph explaining the
    rename so reviewers don't wonder why the number jumped

**No data-migration impact for installs that already ran the
108-named version** (Ralf's beta, primarily): the migration's body
is idempotent — createTable is guarded by `hasTable`, and the seed
uses `onConflict('path').ignore()`. So when 109 runs against an
install whose backup_paths table is already populated, both the
schema step and the seed step no-op cleanly. The orphaned
`108_add_backup_paths.js` row in the `migrations` tracking table
sits harmlessly alongside the new `109_add_backup_paths.js` row.

No data lost, no double-insert, no schema drift. Mechanical rename
ahead of the PR opening.

Database Migrations

This directory contains database migrations for the PicPeak photo sharing platform.

Directory Structure

/core

Essential migrations that are always run for new deployments. These include:

  • init.js - Initial database schema creation
  • Backup service tables (029-035)
  • Gallery feedback tables (033)
  • Pre-generated watermarks (061)

/legacy

Migrations needed only when upgrading from older versions. New deployments can skip these as the core schema already includes all necessary tables and columns.

For New Deployments

If you're deploying this application for the first time:

  1. The initializeDatabase() function in src/database/db.js will create all necessary tables
  2. Only migrations in the /core directory will be run
  3. This ensures a clean, optimized database schema

For Existing Deployments

If you're upgrading from an older version:

  1. All migrations (both core and legacy) will be run in sequence
  2. The migration system tracks which migrations have been applied
  3. Only new migrations will be executed

Running Migrations

# Development
npm run migrate

# Production
npm run migrate:prod

Note on Duplicate Migration Numbers

The legacy directory contains renamed duplicates:

  • 014_add_host_name_to_events_duplicate.js (was duplicate of 014)
  • 027_add_rate_limit_settings_duplicate.js (was duplicate of 027)

These have been renamed to avoid conflicts while preserving the migration history.
