<![CDATA["Could not load dashboard website with loopback check" + "BoxError: Unknown column 'pending' in 'field list'" (update from 8.3.2 to 9.0.13)]]>Hi,
Our Cloudron is unreachable since this morning.

Description

It seems to be related to the automatic upgrade from 8.3.2 to 9.0.13

The dashboard and all the apps show the same error message :

This app is currently not responding. Please try refreshing the page in a few minutes.

Steps to reproduce

Just try to access any app, including the dashboard

When I first ran ~# cloudron-support --troubleshoot it would fail at step 2 about IPv6.I added an IPv6 (AAAA) entry for the dashboard and it fixed the problem.
But now it fails a bit further down the process : see the logs below.
