Is there way to "repair" broken apps?

Hello all

Dragonfish-24.04.2 running on HP ProLiant microserver gen8

Short version:
Is there a way to restore a previous “snapshot” of the apps which might exist somewhere within the TrueNAS filesystem, or is there a way to “flush” or “reset” or “restart” something to do with kubernetes or Docker or whatever it is please?

Detail:
For various reasons (which I’ll mention in a separate thread) I needed to reboot my TrueNAS box several times yesterday and today which happened with no attendant problems.

During the final reboot this afternoon, I had first removed the four hard drives (which are my NAS pool) and set them back in and ready to plug in,but, it turns out, I forgot to actually plug them properly into the backplane.

[edited an hour after posting to remove reference to AGH which I managed to fix - not a TrueNAS problem]

Upon rebooting, TN warned me and I realised my problem so I shut down, plugged in, started up and all is well apart from one TN app - Frigate - which is now having problems which were not there this morning. The other apps are working fine (MotionEye, Adguard-Home, TailScale and Jellyfin).

Frigate was working perfectly for the last several days since I moved to it in preference of the TC version, up until until this afternoon - now the app is permanently stuck at “Deploying” , then occasionally flicking into “running” for a few seconds. This is in spite of my stopping and starting it, and then uninstalling and reinstalling it. . The innards of the reinstalled app look the same as before - I took screenshots to "back up " the settings.

Is there a way to restore a previous “snapshot” of the app(s) which might exist somewhere within the TrueNAS file system, or is there a way to “flush” or “reset” or “restart” something to do with kubernetes or Docker or whatever it is that TrueNAS utilises behind the Frigate app?

I am happy to do linux CLI stuff and I am happy to experiment but I would certainly appreciate some guidance from those more knowledgeable than me (i.e. more or less everyone!).

If I’m understanding you post correctly your TrueCharts app is stuck in deploying? If yes it is likely related to this:

hello Bella - no, I spent a few days a week or so ago moving everything from TC to TN apps in readiness for that Electric Eel eventuality.

It was quite some time after I had completed the move that I ran into this problem (now solved - I had made other mistakes!) but I thought I should let the question stand.
