Docker "update" availability issues

[killeriq]

Hello,

 

I've realized that last few weeks/months i'm not able to update Dockers.

Most of the time i've seen update details like uptodate, apply update only for those 2 dockers:

Nextcloud

Transmission

 

Rest of all dockers have "not available".

 

After update from 6.12.9 to 6.12.10 and restart , i can see more updates, but still most of them "not available"

No clue why is it happening, even if I put server out of VPN it act same strangely with updates for dockers.

 

I was in opinion that the Docker update server is the same, so the update check should either work for all of them of for none.

In the past years I never faced such issue.

 

In 6.12.9 update there is this note, so i thought Finally , but no real improvement only after 6.12.10 i'm able to see more updates.

 

Docker

Ignore empty paths in config file when adding or updating containers

Resolve certain issues updating containers

Fix notifications when container updates are available

Any clue what else i can try?

 

Thanks

After hitting "check for updates" was taking more then 10m+ and still not finished.

So i hit refresh browser tab and same issue as previously

 

Only those 2 dockers are somehow acting/checking state

Are you able to install any new containers?

 

It taking forever (and timing out) would imply that your system is unable to hit dockerHub / ghcr to check for updates.

Tried it and also not able to install.

 

Wrote to my VPN provider, seems like there is something on their end. 

No clue whats wrong all is working except this Docker connection.

 

Tried once again to disable VPN on unRAID and after update check it came with actual updates

 

 

Strange and Thanks for pointing me right direction.

Some services block connections from known commercial VPN provider endpoints, good thing to keep in mind when using a VPN for everyday traffic.

is there some list to that fact? like which services are being blocked?

I use AzireVPN.

 

Also i did seen time to time some "blocking" notice on some simple forum that "this IP is blocked due to spam bla bla..."

[Kilrah]

No, it'll constantly change as VPN providers rotate endpoints, websites update their lists etc, but pretty much every commercial VPN will be affected at times.

 

Just know that whenever you have connection issues to something the VPN might be the reason.

[killeriq]

Hmm so seems like only way at the moment is to time to time disable VPN and proceed with updates, then re-enable VPN

Definitely didn't face such issues few months back, but seems like services are blacklisting VPN's IPs due to some spam, ddos attacks etc...

 

Or option B - put only few Dockers on VPN, but no clue if that is possible as they have only single unRAID IP, so perhaps via PORTs only
