Cloudron update didn't update

[ekevu123]

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?

Is it possible that you have the app twice installed and it updated another instance? The cloudron update command should give some indication on which instance it updated.

Just to debug it , you can quickly check if cloudron status is showing the correct docker image after the cloudron update .

Just to check, this is how I used cloudron update:
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.

@ekevu123 cloudron status --app PATH

Thank you. Yes, it shows the correct docker image.

@ekevu123 then, there is something wrong with the packaging. 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?
