Cant remove a custom app

[getenjoki]

Hi there,

I have a small problem where i cannot remove a custom app i made for mailrise.
I added it through a yaml file, see below:

services:
  mailrise:
    image: yoryan/mailrise:latest
    container_name: mailrise
    environment:
      - MAILRIZE_ENV=production
      - MAILRIZE_SECRET=your_secret_key
      - MAILRIZE_PORT=3000
      # Add any other necessary environment variables here
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    restart: unless-stopped

The app was installed but i was unable to start it and just got an error message
[EFAULT] Failed ‘down’ action for ‘mailrise’ app. Please check /var/log/app_lifecycle.log for more details

[2025/04/11 08:30:48] (ERROR) app_lifecycle.compose_action():56 - Failed ‘down’ action for ‘mailrise’ app: Top-level object must be a mapping

I was also unable to delete the custom app through the GUI, so i removed the app using docker -rm and the container itself is removed, but the custom app is still visable in the truenas app gui.

Is there any way to remove the app from the truenas app gui?

I don’t know if its still the case, but the with the old k3s apps backend, the truenas gui did some caching of the apps page and you had to force refresh the page with shift+f5 to actually refresh it and show current data. Maybe it’s the same for the current version.

Thanks for the response, however, the issue still remains even after clearing the cache/incognito mode in the browser.

look in /mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs and delete the config for whatever app.

Thanks for the tip, i took a look around and deleted mailrise under app_configs, however that did not help the issue.
But i found a file called metadata.yaml under the /mnt/.ix-apps folder which contained a small section for mailrise, which i commented out, now the app is gone from the list!
