I notice that when I update a Docker container manually, I get a blank status while it's updating but then shows what it was doing when it completes the task.

It just says "Update Container". I just wait for it to show the Done button, but it doesn't show progress like it did before.

Try rebooting in safe mode and/or using a different browser without any ad blockers/extensions.

Sorry for the long delay.

I tried Firefox and still got the same results. It's only when I update the template with a new container version that this happens.

Did you try safe mode? AFAIK this has not been reported by other users, suggesting a config or external problem.

I haven't tried safe mode yet since I'm waiting for a container to have an update available.

To update the container, I'm going into the config and changing the Repository field.

I went into Safe Mode, started the array, then edited one of the containers(DuckDNS). I just put a space in the Overview field, then deleted it just to have some sort of change to cause the Apply button to activate.

I get the same problem.

It shows only "Update Container" , then shows the rest after the update is completed.

It used to show the interim steps previously(Stopping container, Removing container, Command execution).

Any ideas @JorgeB ?

Are you sure you don't have any adblockers or anything else that might interfere with the browser?

Try using a different device to do that, like a phone or tablet.

I tried Brave with the shield down and Firefox with no plugins and I still get the symptom.

On my iPhone, it doesn't seem to switch to the view with the status and goes from the screen with the Apply button straight to the done screen.

Weird.

You might try alt-tab in case the modal window is behind other windows.

It doesn't launch another window so there's nothing to alt-tab to. But thanks for the suggestion.

I also tried Edge in a clean Windows 11 VM. I don't think it's a browser issue.

My suggestion would be to try a different flash drive with a stock install and a trial key, using another flash drive for storage, to confirm if it's a config issue or an external problem.

Yikes! It'll take me a bit to gather that stuff up. Thanks.

I tried to create a new Unraid instance using my server by creating a new thumb drive with a trial key and another thumb drive as the array.

I can't get a docker container to install for testing(Linuxserver's Brave container). I see this in the logs as it tries to install the container:

Unable to find image 'lscr.io/linuxserver/brave:latest' locally

I also tried binhex/arch-krusader and I get the same results.

Not sure I want to now troubleshoot another server.

Any other suggestions or does this test tell you anything?

Are you sure it can connect to the internet?

Well, wait a minute. It took a really long time, but the container seemed to install even though I didn't get a completion message.

I'm running the Krusader container now. If I go into that containers config via Edit, and change something, I get the same thing that happens on my main server. It shows Update container, but not the intermediate steps, then shows all of the steps all at once when it's done.

Maybe that's just how it works in 7.x.x?

I also noticed something else - the banner at the top of the screen disappears while it's updating the container.

Here's what it looks like while updating the container. Note that the page has no header.

Here is what it looks like before hitting Apply. It has the header(Unraid 7.2.3, server name, etc.):

Confirming that my server also blanks out the header of the page while updating a container. The only thing it shows when in this mode is the custom header graphic I have for this server, but the other stuff in the header is missing but comes back when the container update completes.

If it still happens with an all-new config it must be an external issue; something in the client PC may be blocking part of the GUI.

I connected a laptop and the server to a switch and used a bootable Linux image on the laptop with a static IP. Same problem.

I also tried a live image of Ubuntu with Firefox on a separate laptop to access the server and I still get the issue.

Doesn't this rule out the PC?

clarify test parameter

Now I'm thinking this is just the way it works these days.

I ran my trial key on a laptop and chose GUI mode so I can try a container update right on the server. This is as vanilla and fresh as I can get and it has the same problem.

I know it's done updating the container when the Unraid logo and the rest of the banner comes back.

Not working that way for anyone else.

It must be me doing something wrong then. For it to have the same problem with a new license key and different hardware, and no other reports of the issue, it's gotta be me. Or maybe I'm not describing the problem well enough?

When I add a container, it does show the interim steps but the Unraid logo and version disappear. When it completes, the Unraid logo and version comes back. It does these in sequence:

1. Shows "Add container"

2. Pulling image (Unraid logo and version disappears at this point)

3. Command execution, shows completed then I get the view container log and done buttons

Unlike an update that goes from Update Container(Unraid logo disappears) to the buttons showing a moment later and no interim steps shown.

I'm at a loss.

What theme are you using?
