On 6.9.0

 

Beta worked perfectly for me. Updated to latest CA. Initial load works fine and I can browse apps but if I try to use the CA search bar...when the search executes I get the loading icon for a second before it freezes, along with the entire page. Network tab (devtools) shows no console errors, Notify.php and exec.php returning 200s.

 

Also tried 2021.10.20-x86_64-1.txz with no change in behavior.

I've been having a weird issue with unpinning apps. I believe the issue was introduced with the GUI overhaul in 2021.10.17 or one of the following patches. This occurs if I install an app that was pinned before the update. The "pin" changes from green to black when the app is installed, but still shows up in my list of pinned apps. Pinning and unpinning an app without installing it works as expected. The same goes for unpinning apps that were pinned before the GUI overhaul, but has not been installed. Unpinning an app that was pinned before the overhaul but installed after works as intended. Unpinning an app that was pinned and installed after the overhaul works as intended.

 

Is it just me?

I can't replicate.  Which apps in particular

Mealie has a known bug that causes an endlessly large backup file.

The dev has stated that he will not address the issue unless someone else provides a PR, as they will not take on the additional burden to support Unraid.

Link to said issue.

And it's also in that same thread the fix

Install the latest community applications. Just restart unraid and click apps to prompt an error，How to solve it（This problem did not occur before this plug-in was updated）

Thanks

 

Fatal Docker Image Error

Your docker image or folder is either read-only or completely full. Issues will result because of this. You should create a new post in the Unraid forums and include your diagnostics

You should do exactly that, in a new thread.

Is there a way to revert to a previous update? I feel like the new GUI really needs some quality of life fixes.

 

Just a short list that I noticed when installed:

- You don't scroll back to top when going to the next page via pagination.

- There's no option to choose from on how many apps are shown on a page.

- The back button does NOT work and it's really annoying.

- No more menu links to random apps, new apps, top apps etc.

- The menu animations when collapsing are quite slow.

- Clicking on an app collaps a menu on the right. Perhaps make it scrollable too when not on the white, but also on the gray overlay (left side).

Is my CA dead? apps tab is just a blank screen:

 

 

CA version:

 

unraid 6.8.3

Edited October 29, 20214 yr by timmyx

Thank You for the help with rolling back to 2021.08.31 because I am still on OS 6.8.3. My only question is nothing comes up for updates now. Is there something I can do to apply updates?

After the system actually loaded the page, it took 1 second to display the home page.  What is the delay?  Simply getting to the page?  (ie: was the spinner on Chrome's tab still spinning indicating the Chrome is still grabbing the information prior to CA actually loading?)

That hasn't been in CA since 2015, but is coming back soon

It's never been there.  Complete redesign from top down to implement and instead of showing a URL that is simply https://xxx.unraid.net/Apps would change to https://xx.unraid.net/Apps/AFewHundredCharactersHeres which I absolutely hate as I don't particularly trust that type of URL whenever I see it, and is also a big security risk with certain aspects of what CA is able to do.

All consolidated on the home page

Why would you want to be able to scroll the main area when the side bar is open?  Half of the app icons are covered up by the sidebar to begin with...

Is there a way to get back the "old" view of CA?
The new GUI is designed great, ofc, but i love the old way where i can read the quickinfo what the app is for.
Now i only can see this for spotlighted apps and it needs "timewasting" additional clicks to find out what apps are out there.
This is what i want for every app:

anyway, it worked flawlessly

it's UnRaid App and Plugin loading it spinning forever or unable to install plugins.

Try setting static DNS addresses in Settings - Network settings (208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220) 

 

If no difference, then create a new thread in General Support and include your diagnostics

Is your "default font size" and "minimum font size" same in your browser settings? I have same problem if the values are same. But for example default 16 and minimum 14 and everything works fine. Only tried with Vivaldi.

Is there a way to download dockers from DockerHub now? The "Click Here To Get More Results From DockerHub" link now opens DockerHub, not the usual search results appear where I can just click install.

you always can add them manually by "add container" and fill out the fields and the variables you need/want, the automated part is gone by now, you mostly had to add all the variables anyway manually so i guess as it wasnt plug & play anyhow it was dropped afaik.

Exactly.  Seemed to me to be completely pointless to have a GUI when no matter what you had to go to dockerhub to find out everything you needed to add in anyways.  So I forced you to do that.

 

Unfortunately, most people don't understand that change and thought I was taking something away from them.  Which I'm not.  But, I have given in to pressure and it will get re-added on the next release.

After this update, Version: 6.9.2, I cannot find [Enable additional search results from dockerHub] in settings under Apps.

Is it moved to a new location? Thanks.

Today's release brings first and foremost a new GUI for CA, thanks to @Mex and @jonp, which really modernizes everything.

 

Other notable changes:

• Check is done at initialization to see if the docker image is full or mounted read-only.  CA will not be usable until either Docker is disabled or the problem is rectified.
• Minimum required Unraid version is 6.9.0  If you haven't already updated to 6.9+, then this is highly recommended.  CA will NOT get backported onto previous OS versions. 
  • Changes to the minimum OS version required by CA are not taken lightly and there are always reasons behind it, and in this case one particular change would have not been compatible with prior versions and would have been a real pain to work around.  Not to mention the required testing etc that would need to be done on previous versions of the OS.  (I probably spend more time actually testing CA than programming it)
• All of the various startup categories (New, Random, Trending, Top Installs) are removed and are now consolidated into a single "Home" page with the addition of a Spotlight section.  Each subsection includes a "Show More" link to display all of the relevant apps.
• All available options on apps if they are installed (ie: Uninstall) are available when searching / browsing, not just from installed apps.  NOTE: If you've renamed an app when installing it, the Uninstall etc are not available when browsing - only within Installed Apps.  This is the same behaviour as previously.
• DockerHub searches (or more to the point, a GUI for searches) are removed.
  • When this feature was originally introduced in 2015, CA was able to determine the dockerfile from the dockerHub search results and was able to create a template that (in theory) contained all the the environment variables, paths, and ports that the container required to operate.
  • In and around October 2018, a change at dockerHub meant that CA was no longer able to analyze the dockerfile to determine the required entries.  Effectively this meant that since Oct 2018, each and every dockerHub search has necessitated the user having to visit the dockerHub page to manually determine the required entries and then add them to the template themselves, as effectively the template CA generated was a blank template with only the repository entry filled out.
  • Because of the necessity of going to dockerHub anyways (and that many users probably wouldn't and then would be surprised as to why the CA generated template wouldn't give you a functioning app), CA is now going to force you to go to the dockerHub page.  IE: each and every search on dockerHub now simply takes you to a dockerHub search results page and you can then determine the appropriate entries for the template when you hit "Add Template" on the docker tab
  • I do recommend that you delete the contents of /config/plugins/community.applications/private/dockerHub on the flash drive if it's present, as the templates which are stored in there are basically blank templates.  Any reinstalls etc of dockerHub conversions will not be impacted by deleting this folder
• A fair amount of work has been done to installing and managing multiple instances of apps.  Most notably, when clicking Install 2nd instance, the name of the app is automatically changed (to reflect a 2nd instance) with the result that the appdata entry should also wind up changing (on most apps) to reflect a second instance.  This is still an advanced feature and needs to be enabled in CA's settings
• Managing installed applications can now be done via any search or browsing instead of being relegated to the Installed Apps section on previous versions of CA
• Languages will now appear within Installed Apps
• Numerous other fixes, a smaller code-base, and simpler skinning system

 

Thanks to everyone who took part in the beta program for CA (your name if I'm aware that you took part is now included in the credits)

 

More features to come  

 

Multi-Language Notes:

 

With the complete overhaul of the GUI also comes a whack of new phrases which need to be translated into the various languages.  If you were previously contributing to the languages translations, look at the en_US files and update the translations accordingly.

 

Also, translations for the "Reason" in spotlighted apps are also supported.  This is however handled via a separate repository outside of the normal language translations.  Please issue pull requests against https://github.com/Squidly271/Community-Applications-Moderators/blob/master/Recommended.json if you wish to contribute.  New "Reasons" to translate will be available every month.
