FreshRSS breaks on (nearly) every update, Postgres related

Apps and Virtualization

I’ve been running FreshRSS for a while now, and have had a good experience with it except for one major issue:

The Postgres Collation version gets updated when the app id updated sometimes, which means the Postgres container is expecting a new version for the entire database, but the database doesn’t get reindexed and refreshed when FreshRSS is updated, causing the app to stop working. The result for me is that I need to completely delete the app, clear out the dataset, and reinstall it. This also means losing a large amount of information (I have to manually re-add over 100 RSS feeds one at a time)

I figure this is something that isn’t an issue with my machine specifically, but is a problem with how updates are handled by the FreshRSS app deployment generally. Is there a good place to post an issue for whoever maintains the FreshRSS TrueNas app? I don’t want to bug upstream developers if it’s an issue with whoever handles the docker container, and I don’t want to bug the docker container maintainers if it’s an issue with the TrueNas deployment specifically.

I also have issues. I get a lot of chmod errors and then this:
