Recently I update our server to Debian 12.
When I tried to update our self-hosted instance 2023.2.1 I receive message:
WARNING: This script is running as the root user!
If you are running a standard deployment this script should be running as a dedicated Bitwarden User as per the documentation.
When I go to check who is the owner of the bitwarden files I see that it is nobody:nogroup despite the recommendations found at: Linux Standard Deployment | Bitwarden Help Center
Our installation is 4 or 5 years old and we have been updating it at least once a year.
I decide to install the update as root as I don’t know how changing the owner of the files can affect our installation. Receiving the following exception:
Pausing 60 seconds for database to come online. Please wait…

When I try to access localhost to check the status I get the following message:
Your local data is too old to be migrated. Your current state version is 1, but minimum version is 2. ; Zone: ; Task: Promise.then ; Value: Error: Your local data is too old to be migrated. Your current state version is 1, but minimum version is 2.
How could I solve this situation? Do I change the owner of my files following the guide to install with the bitwarden user? Will I have any problem with docker?
Will that allow me to complete the upgrade?
Any help would be welcome
