Since yesterday I am trying to update my Umbrel to 0.4.8. What could be the issue here? ![Screenshot 2021-11-16 at 21.36.38](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/c/cf0f95723fd4919ed49f5bda445aa5ffae02de62.png) ---

Ok so the problem might be related to having Pi Hole running as my DNS server. What is the best way to whitelist Umbrel ? ---

No, Pi-Hole is not the Problem for this particular error. The HTTP 500 error code shows that the server is reachable but has a problem which was not handled. My Umbrel currently shows the same error: > umbrel-manager > manager | Error getting available update: getaddrinfo EAI\_AGAIN [api.umbrel.com](http://api.umbrel.com) > manager | Unable to check for update > manager | /v1/system/get-update > manager | NodeError: Unable to check for update > manager | at Object.getAvailableUpdate (/app/logic/system.js:167:15) > manager | at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task\_queues.js:97:5) > manager | ::ffff:10.21.21.2 - - [Sat, 21 Jan 2023 23:10:02 GMT] “GET /v1/system/get-update HTTP/1.0” 500 28 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10\_15\_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/16.2 Safari/605.1.15” > manager | To me it looks like there is a problem with the umbrel server! Or this is the normal behavior when no update was found. Not sure about this. ---

Hi, did you ever find the reason/ solution to this? I know there is a 1.4 update atm but: I am having a similar problem, check for update button fails, the web interface gives: GET [http://192.168.136.131/trpc/system.checkUpdate](http://192.168.136.131/trpc/system.checkUpdate) 500 (Internal Server Error) umbrel log > Feb 28 17:44:53 umbrel umbreld[887]: [apprepository] Checking for update for [GitHub - getumbrel/umbrel-apps: The official app repository of the Umbrel App Store.

[EDIT:] so I figured out its an dns problem, ping not pinging unless its ip, I am running umbrelos on a vm so I should be able to fix that, it just cant find [github.com](http://github.com) right now
