Cloudron update failing

[gerben]

@girish thanks for the quick reaction!

I understand you aim for the rolling-update approach, and I can also imagine that skipping some versions could lead to issues. But even if this stays this way, a tweak (mostly UI) that would let me say “run all missing updates one after another”, would save a lot of waiting and clicking for those cases where a version of cloudron or some app was held back. I see this has been argued for before, with more examples for why this may not be “a corner case”. I hope you will consider the option!

[girish]

@gerben ah yes, an option/button to "update to latest" which continuously applies updates, instead of having to manually keep clicking, makes much sense. Do you think you can open a request at https://forum.cloudron.io/category/97/feature-requests ?

[gerben]

@girish done! https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/6333/update-to-latest-button-option

@girish said in Cloudron update failing:

Indeed, the docker install logic was not cleaned up properly when we cleaned up other package installs. fixed now - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/09d3d258b61ba338c0fadc88c0418d8bcc77f528 . Thanks for investigating!

Perhaps that fixes a similar bug, but just for clarity, note that I was using an old version Cloudron (6.1.2), and got stuck in this other loop that looks like it has already been removed from the script between version 6.2 and 6.3.

while ! dpkg --force-confold --configure -a; do
    log "Failed to fix packages. Retry"
    sleep 1
done

That “Failed to fix packages” is the message that appeared again and again in my infinite logs:

i just realized it has been having problems since 03.09.2023 with this update. i kept going through the logs in the backend and saw this:

02.07.2023	cron	Cloudron update errored. Error: Version info mismatch
02.07.2023	cron	Backup cleaner removed 1 backups
02.07.2023	cron	Cloudron update to version 7.4.3 was started
02.07.2023	cron	Cloudron updated to version 7.4.3
02.07.2023	boot	Cloudron started with version 7.4.3
01.07.2023	cron	Cloudron update to version 7.4.3 was started

this is the version i am stuck in, i dont know if this helps

[girish]

@squareclouds your cloudron might have cached an old update . We moved away from s3 for our releases a while ago. To fix:

• rm /home/yellowtent/platformdata/update/*
• systemctl restart box
• Refresh the dashboard and check for updates and update

Does that work?

[squareclouds]

@girish thank you for the reply. sadly no, i ran both lines and refreshed the dashboard in the browser, but the update failed again (same error and logs)

[girish]

@squareclouds Did you see /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/updater/cloudron-updater-2023-10-27_06-51 already? Otherwise, if you send a mail to support@cloudron.io, we can debug this further.

[squareclouds]

@girish i just checked, no the last one is

cloudron-updater-2023-09-30_02-16-06.log

will write you an email now then. thank you

[girish]

To close the thread here, the issue was simply that update to 7.5 was failing because @squareclouds 's cloudron is still on ubuntu 18 . One must upgade to Ubuntu 20 first before updating to 7.5.
