<![CDATA[Cloudron update didn't update]]>I had an odd case just now with a custom python app.

cloudron update

ran successfully, but it did not update my application, the cold stayed the previous one. Reinstalling the app solved the problem.
Here is what I did:

  • I used docker build with the no-cache option
  • I was definitely in the right folder
  • I pushed it to docker.io and confirmed in the dashboard that the push happened
  • I then used cloudron update to update the application

The command ran successfully, but i could identify a typo in the code which I fixed locally but it wasn't fixed on the server. But it was after uninstalling and re-installing the app.

Any ideas why that might be the case?

I am not sure how your Dockerfile looks like but maybe you copy over the code in a start up script or something ? Test the docker image locally using docker run -ti <docker_image> /bin/bash . Is it having the fixed code?

cloudron update --app PATH --image docker.io/DETAILS (tag not specified)

Since I specified the app path, how can it have updated another instance?

When I run cloudron status after updating, it shows this: Could not determine app. Use --app to specify the app

I just tried it again and didn't get any update either, but everything ran without any error message.

The cloudron update command should give some indication on which instance it updated.
