My custom app not showing there is an update

Hi,

Same problem. Since ElectricEel , custom apps created in the UI are not showing updates.

Since I have a lot of apps, I made a simple script to update them but it would be nice to see the “update available” on the UI.

All of my custom yaml apps show updates, no extra software necessary. Scale handles it.

This could be due to a few different reasons:

  • Have you set it to pull the latest image?
  • Have you verified that the docker repository you are pointing it towards has actually updated the containers? Sometimes this lags behind the official release of the software, especially if maintained by a third party.

Yeah pretty sure. I have around 30 apps, only 2 are from the catalogs and are the only ones that show updates.

I’m having this issue since the ElectricEel upgrade. Some apps were migrated but others are post-upgrade.

All my apps were created with the UI but I will test with yaml.

Yeah, maybe it treats custom apps via the tool differently than using a yaml file via the UI, that would be odd. Mine are even more complicated case and didn’t think it would show updates. I have a number of yaml that use docker_inline and actually builds an image to be used. Yet, updates still show for those too. To be clear, Electric Eel, no dockge portainer etc. Just plain Scale.

Ok, I can confirm that. Converted a few of may apps to yaml and they are showing updates.

It seems custom apps created from the UI are not treated the same as the yaml ones.

Wow, that’s really interesting! I wonder why! That seems wrong to me.
