If this is not the category for this post, I apologize.

My apps are out of date, when I try to update them, I get the following error:

A dict was expected

From what I have read so far, this might be cause by my outdated version of truenas Scale. I am currently on FangTooth-25.04.0.
When I try to check for updates, I get the following error:

message='Not Found', url

[EFAULT] Error while fetching update manifest: 404, message=‘Not Found’, url=URL(‘https://update.ixsystems.com/scale/TrueNAS-SCALE-FangTooth-Nightlies/manifest.json’): Automatic update check failed. Please check system network settings.

After a little more reading, I found that having 2 NICs can cause issues. I have removed my second NIC and rebooted the system but I still get the same errors. I have checked my Network setting and my Name Server and Gateways are both set to my Router’s IP (192.168.1.1).
I tired pinging 8.8.8.8 from the console and I can reach it. I tried pinging ixsystems.com and I can reach it as well.

Please help me troubleshoot this.

Hello there is something wrong with TrueNas updater feature. I am also on TrueNas 25.04.0 and cannot update my system. I am sure they are aware of this issue

The error message says you are on the Nightly Fangtooth train.
That’s at best a beta branch and typically more like an alpha branch.

Is that intentional?

Either way, I am not surprised it can’t update to a newer Fangtooth nightly, since Fangtooth proper has been released. Coincidentally, Fangtooth 25.04.2 is anticipated to be released today.

Swap away from the Nightly to Release/Stable.

Thank you for the responses.
Yes, I intentionally chose nightly when I originally set up my NAS(had a lot more free time back then).
Do I need to do a full reinstall to swap to the stable train? Or can I manually upgrade/downgrade?

Yes.
