May 1May 1 Hi all,I default to using linuxserver.io containers, I just so happened to notice that in Community Apps when I search for qBittorrent, it does not have the 'installed' flag as my other containers do.Is there a broken linkage that I can fix?Thanks!

This spot:I can't image putting in a custom name, will break a link to the repository? This broken update link is happening on custom names and on default names. I would only position that if the name is changed, the 'update' check should point and reference the repository and not search for whatever name I call it. And if changing the name breaks something, then why are we allowed to change it?I can manually click Check for Updates, and they will find updates appropriately.

Purely the the default CA name <> the name you designate? This is above my knowledge, so I'm not judging it. But I would assume there could be a way to identify which docker container is being used. Similar to the updates.

May 20May 20 Author @Kilrah Thanks for the info. I understand what you are saying, and agree that it's cosmetic. It just seems like something that could be fixed (again, past my knowledge).
