Updating and creating new apps throws Path [/mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts] is not allowed to be mounted

[jpbnetley]

Hi.
I noticed that I had updates for my apps.
After selecting all of the apps, and clicking update, I would get this error for each app.
Below is an example for homarr.
Path [/mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/homarr/configs] is not allowed to be mounted.
Here is the full error log:

[EFAULT] Failed to render compose templates: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/apps_render_app", line 33, in sys.exit(load_entry_point('apps-validation==0.1', 'console_scripts', 'apps_render_app')()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/catalog_templating/scripts/render_compose.py", line 47, in main render_templates_from_path(args.path, args.values) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/catalog_templating/scripts/render_compose.py", line 19, in render_templates_from_path rendered_data = render_templates( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/catalog_templating/render.py", line 36, in render_templates ).render({'ix_lib': template_libs, 'values': test_values}) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jinja2/environment.py", line 1301, in render self.environment.handle_exception() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jinja2/environment.py", line 936, in handle_exception raise rewrite_traceback_stack(source=source) File "/mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/homarr/versions/1.1.6/templates/docker-compose.yaml", line 19, in top-level template code {% do c1.add_storage("/app/data/configs", values.storage.configs) %} ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/homarr/versions/1.1.6/templates/library/base_v2_1_5/container.py", line 217, in add_storage self._storage.add(mount_path, config) File "/mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/homarr/versions/1.1.6/templates/library/base_v2_1_5/storage.py", line 91, in add volume_mount = VolumeMount(self._render_instance, mount_path, config) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/homarr/versions/1.1.6/templates/library/base_v2_1_5/volume_mount.py", line 42, in __init__ source = IxVolumeSource(self._render_instance, mount_config).get() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/homarr/versions/1.1.6/templates/library/base_v2_1_5/volume_sources.py", line 61, in __init__ self.source = allowed_fs_host_path_or_raise(path) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/homarr/versions/1.1.6/templates/library/base_v2_1_5/validations.py", line 171, in allowed_fs_host_path_or_raise raise RenderError(f"Path [{path}] is not allowed to be mounted.") base_v2_1_5.error.RenderError: Path [/mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/homarr/configs] is not allowed to be mounted.

I thought it was a permission error with Dataset/ix-applications
But after I changed the permissions to one of the local users, I still go the same error.
So I reverted back to what I think the default was.

I noticed I get the same error when trying to install new apps using the “Discover apps” section.

Any idea how I can resolve this error?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Yeah I noticed every app had an update at the same time this morning and every update failed with an error like this. I did install the latest 24.10.1 update recently

Try refreshing your app catalog and see if this fixes it

library: allow .ix-apps for ix_volumes

Refreshing does not work I am afraid…!

More people reporting similar issues.

Error update app after update to 24.10.1

Hi There, no this does not fix. The existing apps are running, but do not show on the web page. New apps, if not mapped to a hostpath ‘Error’ Looks like a directory or image for the docker apps is not being mounted correctly, as the docker service is running.

Refreshing does not work

Answered in the other thread, but to clarify, did you refresh the browser or the app catalog?

[gswhiteuk]

I refreshed the app catalog and still broken

Ok as I said in the other thread, the issue you mentioned in your original thread: Issues with Docker starting correctly on TrueNAS ElectricEel-24.10.1 seems separate from the main issue that this fix was solving. I’d suggest submitting a bug report if no other users have any input and troubleshooting isn’t getting you anywhere.

same issue here, but just for qbittorrent.
i was able to updatew all other apps without issues, in my case the error is:

“/mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/qbittorrent/versions/1.1.13/templates/library/base_v2_1_6/validations.py”, line 171, in allowed_fs_host_path_or_raise raise RenderError(f"Path [{path}] is not allowed to be mounted.") base_v2_1_6.error.RenderError: Path [/mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/qbittorrent/downloads/temp] is not allowed to be mounted.

For me, refreshing the app catalog did fix the problem. Seen on two machines. The one main machine I rebooted and did a catalog refresh and it worked, on the other machine with the same issue just doing the catalog refresh fixed the issue. So I assume the reboot wasn’t required.

Hi All.
It might be that the update took a while to propagate.
But after I refreshed the app catalog as suggested, the apps all updated as expected.

Thank you all that participated

Done many refreshes and some reboots but didn’t solved
