Plugins Not Updating

[SLNetworks]

I have tried the last two or three days to check for plugin updates, it states there's no connection and simply aborts.

 

Updating docker apps, there's zero issues. What gives? What is/are the domain(s) that Unraid checks for updates from?

Removed Unraid version.

Everything is green.

Seems Docker apps now fail also when it comes to updating. Github, Docker and AWS are all up though. I'd like to know on what basis Unraid seems to think there's no connectivity.

DNS? Can you ping them from your server? 

[SLNetworks]

Yeah, the respond to my pings.

I had a iissue once updates would fail because my system date and time where out of sync. may not your issue may be worth a check.

My time and date appear to be in sync. For what it's worth, this is the direct message I get when I try to do plugin updates:

 

Checking connectivity...
No response, aborting!

Just looked at the code can you run 

 

wget --spider --no-check-certificate -nv -T10 -t1 https://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt 2>&1|grep -o 'OK'

Witchout looking and running the code you told me to run, I know I have that domain blocked via Pi-Hole. Is it really necessary to require that for an internet check? *facepalm* I get nothing back when I run that line, for what it's worth.

Yes that is the check being used for connectivity.

Is it possible for an end user to change the domain that's used to check, or remove it all together?

Not at present that is embedded. You could raise a feature request.

[SLNetworks]

Thanks for the answer.. and the great suggestion! I will do so.

 

Cheers!

Another piHole user here. I ran into this same issue just now and 'fixed' it by adding:

 

81.198.165.233  www.msftncsi.com

 

To /etc/hosts on my Unraid server.

Running piHole on your server and having the server use it for its DNS is always going to be fraught with issues.  There are no ads at all in the OS, so why have piHole attempt to block any ads that appear???

Agreed, and I'm not directly. Unraid resolves via my router which conditionally forwards to piHole for local domains and *should* pass everything else to an external DNS server. Why that's passing everything to piHole is next on my list of things to cure. Hence 'fixed' in my original response.

 

Maybe hacked would have been a better word than fixed
