Hey there. I am a new user to umbrelOS and started on 1.5 about 3wks ago. Installed on a old desktop its an AMD Athlon 5350, 16Gb RAM and a 1Tb ssd. All seemed fine, i was installing apps and getting things situated, and then came 1.7… everything went downhill from there. i updated with my 4Tb ext ssd attached and it would even POST after rebooting. I removed the Ext SSD and it rebooted but was stuck at some point, cant remember, and i ended up reinstalling the entire OS installed the apps and tried the update again, it updated fine but all of the apps were stuck on “restarting” and after various attempts at restarting the scripts, rebuilding the home directory via github nothing. so reinstalled the OS, updated and then installed all the apps. all seemed fine except none of them except Tailscale, plex and home assistant will actually open. None of the other apps will actually return anything except “problem loading page” should i just reinstall and stick to 1.5 for now? that “1.7 is available” window is super annoying
Yep, I had the same issue. I got around it by restoring the broke apps from backup using the “rewind” function. You would have to had auto backups setup to do this though.
The 1.7.1 upgrade is really bad, see here for other issues with it.
I get a crash once a day on 1.7.1 as well as all the other issues.
I see there is a 1.7.2, where do I find the release announcements?
EDIT: Found it: Releases · getumbrel/umbrel · GitHub
Seems to be just the CopyFail bug fix, will see if it is any more stable, at least it upgraded fine from 1.7.1
I recently update my Umbrel and faced the exact same error, I see that is something about the symb link and external disks. I repeated the tutorial: Unofficial Guide: How to add more storage
and everything back to normal, I just needed to re-install everything
Further upgrade madness. Upgraded to 1.7.4 left me with 4 out of 7 apps not restarting. Restore from backup did not help. I had to reinstall each app after backing up there data, then restore data. This should not happen developers … you need to make this upgrade process more bullet proof, as it is I dread upgrading ..
I think this thread may be mixing two different failures.
The fact that Tailscale, Plex and Home Assistant continued working is interesting because all three use host networking, while most other apps depend on the shared umbrel_main_network. If that network was not recreated after the update, the other apps would fail before their containers were created.
There is also a separate 1.7 issue for anyone who moved app data to an external drive using /etc/fstab and symlinks. Those root filesystem changes no longer survive a reboot, so the symlink can be dangling when Umbrel scans the installed apps. That can produce the App <id> not found error. Custom mounts now need to be restored from /home/umbrel/umbrel/custom-hooks/pre-start.
If this happens again, I would download the umbrelOS logs before reinstalling anything. It would also help to include the affected app names and the output of:
sudo docker network inspect umbrel_main_network
readlink -f ~/umbrel/app-data/<affected-app>
findmnt -T ~/umbrel/app-data/<affected-app>
That should separate a missing Docker network from an unavailable external-drive path.
