Tiny Tiny RSS – updates not showing up

[archos]

Hi,
I’ve noticed that Tiny Tiny RSS on my Cloudron doesn’t show any available updates.
I also tried checking for updates manually, but nothing appears.

I’m currently on version 68da94c, and according to the app info, the last update was on April 30, 2025.
However, I’m quite sure I updated the app about a month ago.

Other apps show updates normally.
Thanks a lot for any information

Hello @archos
I notice that your package id is org.tt_rss.cloudronapp but @tiny-tiny-rss package now is called org.tt_rss.cloudronapp2 that is why you are getting no updates for the app.

This happened because on 22 April 2025 the app was moved to PostgreSQL instead of MySQL.

@nebulon said in Tiny Tiny RSS - might drop support for MySQL:

We've released a new package with a new appstore id for the postgresql version of tinytinyrss. This is a whole new package, so automatic updates will not migrate to postgres, as there is no good way to automatically migrate.

We've written the steps to migrate over via OPML at https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/tinytinyrss/#migrating-from-mysql-to-postgresql

@james Thanks a lot for the quick reply — I totally missed that note about the migration.
Sorry for the unnecessary question!

No question is ever unnecessary. Please never hesitate to ask away if something is unclear.
This helps us improve.
It seems the change was not communicated well enough so we can improve here.
Maybe in the future, a "discontinued" app should get a final update with a changelog notice that informs the user about the state of the app and possible migration steps?
Do you think this would have made you aware?
Open for other suggestions.

[archos]

@james Yeah, that would definitely help.
A short note in the changelog or a small notice in the app UI would make it much clearer for users — though I admit I should also keep a closer eye on release notes myself.
Thanks for taking it seriously!

Hello @archos
I've looked into it and the version you have installed org.tt_rss.cloudronapp:3.0.0 was the final update and was a manual update (which you had to confirm manually) with the following release note:

CHANGELOG.md

[3.0.0]
* **IMPORTANT:** This package uses MySQL and upstream TinyTinyRSS has dropped support for MySQL. This is the last release of this package. We have published a new package which uses PostgreSQL. Please switch to the new package using the [migration guide](https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/tinytinyrss/#migrating-from-mysql-to-postgresql) .

Which looked like this:

So you must have not noticed this while applying the manual update back then (~28 April 2025)

I will think about how we can make this more noticeable to users in the future.

[archos]

@james Yeah, that makes sense. I must have completely missed that note during the manual update back then.
Thanks for double-checking and explaining — and good idea to make such notices more visible in the future.
