It no longer asks Are you sure you want to update to the v4.2.5? (Y/N), it just goes straight to failing. I tested this on two containers and both have the same issue.

Installing git before the first invocation of update does not help:

Also might be worth mentioning that when the update fails the entire dashboard goes offline and the web UI cannot be accessed.

@donaldzou can you take a short Look? Why do you need an fix .git folder?

Hmmmmmmmmm so basically WGDasboard relies on Git to do release management... does the community script download directly and not doing a git clone?

yes since over 1 month. We crawl the tarball with the function "fetch_and_deploy_gh_release "wgdashboard" "donaldzou/WGDashboard" "tarball" "latest" "/etc/wgdashboard""
Or do you think its better - to use the git clone instead of this? We removed git at several projects

Ah I see, yes I think the best to use git so we don’t need to do extra cases for Community Script — less chance to break haha

Best,

@donaldzou you use github api for version checking, if i'm reading wgd.sh correctly, same as we do. We store the version tag inside ~/.AppName which would be ~/.wgdashboard in this case and we use that for our own version checking for all of update scripts.

Your only check would be to compare the version you fetch with gh api with the version we store. If that file exists, that would mean WGDashboard is installed inside LXC, so it would basically be just one IF block.

Anyway, i can revert to the way it worked before, with git and stuff, just saying its not a point of possible breakage since you check same stuff as we do.

Hi @tremor021,

Yes I do use the GitHub API to check for new version, the issue here is I use git pull --new version to actually updating the code, which is why it broke for @nalabrie since the community script tarballed the code.

Best,
Donald
