I have spent much time yesterday on migrating to V2.  
I still have some issues which I am not sure how to fix, but most things work now.

Let me try to list here some issues I had. I am running on a Mac, and I use doom emacs.  
To update I followed the steps in [here](https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/blob/develop/modules/lang/org/README.org#migrating-your-existing-files-from-v1-roam-to-v2-roam2).

# Installation stuff

I had an issue with sql not working. The problem was that my c-compiler was not working properly. I solved it by updating it. Then, even after updating it, the migration would not work, and the reason was that a backup folder (named `org-roam-directory`.bak) was already created which stopped the migration from working. It would be nice if there would be a warning telling this. So I removed the `bak` folder, and run the migration again, and the script ran fine.

# Configuration stuff

Here I have the most issues.  
Running on `doom` I think that one should use `(after! org-roam ...)` to config stuff, but that did not work for me. I had to use `(use-package! org-roam... )` instead. I am not sure what is the effect of this, but now the configuration is loaded.  
I had to define all of the keybinding myself, and it took me some time.  
I had to modify the `capture-templates` to work well with V2. That also took some time. To do it successfully I followed the default value of the variable ` org-roam-capture-templates`.

The org-roam-buffer is different on V2. I still could not make it work as I want. I would like to press `RET` on a link in the org-roam-buffer and that it would open the relevant note in the “main” buffer.  
I am not sure how to accomplish that.  
Moreover, I would like to modify the styling of the org-roam-buffer. Right now, the titles of the notes are not emphasized enough and it is hard to read.

Other than that, I was using before `org-roam-server` to view my graph.  
Now I installed `org-roam-ui` and it went smoothly!  
The only issue I have is that labels in my equations (i.e. `\label{eq:1}` in an equation environment) are also shown in the html rendering of the note. I opened an issue on that [here](https://github.com/rasendubi/uniorg/issues/21).

I hope this helps.

BTW, my config for org-roam v2 can be found [here](https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/the-org-roam-v2-great-migration/1505/81).
