    @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

      @girish , thanks! Is there an estimate which version will fix that?
      "Next one" is fine for me 🙂

            Thanks. Since missing backup blocks automatic updates, platform update get blocked as well...

                can you double check if any of your configured backup sites have that app included and also have set the checkbox to use for automatic updates?

                    that would explain it, then you have to first add a backup site. Any auto-update will only work if a backup can be made.

                      but I don't need a backup for that site... any way to specify some kind of /dev/null for such a case?

                          apart from the fact that it's not needed - there is not enough space for that 🙂
