Reverting to a commit before 8da99ff (and rolling back associated migrations) fixes the issue.

Did you forget to run migrations?

[lutoma]

I ran migrations using RAILS_ENV=production DB_PORT=5432 bundle exec rails db:migrate and then also verified they had applied using RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate:status.

Can you update again, see if this is still happening, and if it is, run tootctl cache clear?

[lutoma]

After updating to 04e7efa again and running the migration I ended up with the same errors. But clearing the cache with tootctl cache clear did indeed fix the issue and everything seems to be working properly now. Thanks!

Thanks for confirming my hunch!
