📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

When the command 'update' is executed from inside the Flaresolverr LXC, the script breaks the installation of Flaresolverr. It is no longer working. I get this error from Prowlarr 'Unable to connect to proxy: Connection refused (Ip of LXC:Default Port). Check the log surrounding this error for details'.

I recreated a new lxc using the install script and directly ran the update command from inside the container and it broke the install.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Run Flaresolverr Install script on proxmox host.
Once install,ed from inside the flaresolverr lxc container, run the command 'update'
Then, the service is no longer working.

Paste the full error output (if available).

I mean, I know how to fix it, I repaired it, i'm just saying this is not the expected behavior I think.

Hey, I too think that there may be some minor issue.
What I did (two times, and with reboots in the middle):

  • install Flaresolverr using script - all working fine!
  • update to Trixie using the usual method, because why not - all working fine!
  • run "update", although there was nothing to update as predictable => got the "stopped service" -> "started service" messages in console as usual - app doesn't work anymore.
  • ran "/opt/flaresolverr/flaresolverr" but got "-bash: /opt/flaresolverr/flaresolverr: No such file or directory"

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong so please don't bash too hard....
