Does anyone else have an annoying notification " Reboot Required" ?

A reboot three times in a row. But it hasn't disappeared.

Cloudron v8.2.1 (Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS) no AVX support

So the behavior around pinned notifications (reboot, email status, ..) has changed in latest version. Previously we would delete those notifications once they are handled, now we always keep them but they are marked as already read (see also in your screenshot)

So it behaves as it is implemented and intended, now the question is, if this is more confusing or less than before and what the ideal solution would be.

That indicator is based on the existance of a file on ubuntu called /var/run/reboot-required which apt cat set if an updated package requires a reboot. This mostly happens for automatic security updates on Cloudron. Does that file exist on your server? Just to narrow down the issue.

@nebulon the file does not exist.

Hm I think I can reproduce this on my test Cloudron now

I like that the Notification remains, mostly to help me remember and check what's been done to my Cloudron recently. It is LESS confusing.

My 2 cents: don't delete some notifications. Mark them as already read and let them go to page two once a ton of new notifications have arrived.

This is how it is currently implemented, actually. I guess the visible distinction between read/unread isn't all that great right now...

Is there a way that I can have these notifications, especially the notification to reboot, emailed? If there is something that I need to do to keep things up to date, I want that notification sent to me.

Maybe I have a setting wrong, here is what I want to be notified about via email:

Here are my settings:

@nebulon it is more confusing this way. Is there a way to set it up so that once the server is rebooted, the notification stays, but the "reboot" button becomes a grayed out button that says "reboot completed". Then leave the notification as a form of a log, I would say.

We are reworking the notification UI for Cloudron 9 at the moment and the reboot required hint will be fixed accordingly there. It has caused quite a few misunderstandings in the past as it currently is
