Cloudron won't update - No backup site for update

[swheeler78]

I'm running Cloudron 9.0.13 and I see that version 9.0.15 is available. Every time I try to upgrade I get "Cloudron update failed, No backup site for update".

Please advise.

The above has to be checked in atleast one of your backup sites.

I think that means that no backup destinations have been set up or no successful backups have completed. Cloudron won’t update if there’s no backup to roll back to.

Create a backup site.

Hello @swheeler78

Please visit your Cloudron domain under https://my.$DOMAIN.$TLD#/backup-sites or use the sidebar navigation in your Cloudron dashboard and click Backups->Sites.

Please share a screenshot of this configuration.
After that, you can attempt to fix it with the suggestions made by @humptydumpty and @robi.

@joseph Thanks. That was it. I had a backup setup and working but even when I told it to skip backup on the upgrade it still gave me an error. Had to check the box for storing automatic backups even though I chose to skip the backup.

Same problem for me but i don't have a Backup set up at all.
"Skip Backup" does nothing and does not let me update. Can you please fix that?

And i don't need a backup since i use Proxmox Backup Server.

@goseph10 that was a bug. I have fixed this in https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/1594d190eb29071c0aa11ff0a0e48554bb5fc04f

You can edit /home/yellowtent/box/src/updater.js and fix line 229:

    if (!options.skipBackup && sites.length === 0) throw new BoxError(BoxError.BAD_STATE, 'No backup site is enabled to store automatic-update backups. Enable this in a backup site to continue.');

After that systemctl restart box
