I use Docker commands directly to upgrade (well, I use Ansible to bring up the containers) so maybe there is something going on with that difference.
There have been some recent changes to automatically detect and build the correct architecture so we don’t have to specify that in the label anymore. Maybe something there went wrong.
What command do you use to start the container @psyciknz?
It was an edit of an existing 2.3 container and redeployed in portainer…so some of the environment variables etc would have been retained…
Where with the docker-compose file, it only specifies the volumes, user ids and image name…most of the other values much be set by the docker file.
It’s a bit hard to reproduce without any specific information. 
No, I think the issue was entirely mine. Editing an existing container is probably not the way to go.
Just throw away the existing container 
and create a new one 
when upgrading.
As long as you map your data directories/volumes in the new container it should work! 
I have a feeling that something is going wrong here.
when upgrading 2.4.0 to 2.5.0-snapshot i get 1.6G files in the backup folder:

$ du -hs /datavol/openhab/openhab_userdata/backup/

all folders together before backup are about 132M
$ du -sh /datavol/openhab-initial/
132M /datavol/openhab-initial/
what is beeing backed up with these scripts?
You should open a new thread for this.
You can open up the tar files and have a look. I just did a quick table of contents of the most recent backup I have (from this morning) and it looks like it is everything in userdata.
How big is your userdata folder (minus the backups folder of course, we don’t need recursive backups)?
On my system the backups are all in the half gig range which tracks with the overall size of the userdata folder.

And I just realized that I don’t have this folder in my .gitignore. Off to git to clean this up.
userdata is 131M only
Look at the backup dates. You’ve made ~30 backups in just 15 minutes. Guess your container failed to start while upgrading?
+ mkdir /openhab/userdata/backup
+ tar --exclude=/openhab/userdata/backup -c -f /openhab/userdata/backup/userdata-2019-01-16T09-55-47.tar /openhab/userdata
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
the issue might be, because I put the volume on a folder which is managed by glusterfs distribute FS
have to check the docker service log next time
I ran upgrade from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0-snapshot and I getting in a loop:
openhab_openhab.1.gmit3677awkc@vevedock-02 | + '[' '!' -d /openhab/userdata/backup ']'
openhab_openhab.1.gmit3677awkc@vevedock-02 | + tar --exclude=/openhab/userdata/backup -c -f /openhab/userdata/backup/userdata-2019-01-17T12-46-54.tar /openhab/userdata
openhab_openhab.1.gmit3677awkc@vevedock-02 | tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
openhab_openhab.1.gmit3677awkc@vevedock-02 | tar: /openhab/userdata/cache/org.eclipse.osgi: file changed as we read it

openhab_openhab.1.m1n68nyy2l0i@vevedock-02 | ++ echo false
Tar is geting a warning that file changed. I do not know why it is, cause it start at next line from the beinning.
Are the times synchronized between your container and the host? I don’t know why that would matter but I’ve no other ideas.
when I start tar in the shell, I get the same warnings, though tar goes on till finished.
going to play around with the the Dockerfile and find out whats going on.
