Update question - (abbort after template detection)

[aaron-saks]

I have a simple system. I run update and it updates the host and the LCX, but it doesn't update the VMs. If I run update VMID, then it updates the VM properly. Is there a way to configure it so that running the update command updates all VMs as I believe it is supposed to? Am i missing something in a config file.

hi @aaron-saks, nice to see you here ;)

if the "update " command work, and the update run, then you configured the VM correctly.
Now what could be is a wrong setting in config file.
this should be there and not commend out ;) :

WITH_VM="true"

and there should nothing in Only / or VM in Exclude

ONLY=""
EXCLUDE=""

If this is all set correxctly, the VM should be update at the end of the script.

For understanding: the script run first the node itself, the all LXC and VM at the end.

If any settings in config "not" correct, or set false, there should be an info during update run like "VM skipped by user" or something.

Hope this help you out ;)

If not, I will try to help you out more then ;)

My system did not have a config file in root/Proxmox-Updater/update.conf.
I made one and added the line WITH_VM="true"
It still ran the update on the PVE, LCX, and then said that one VM was a template, but then skipped all other VMs.
The welcome screen shows updates available for the skipped VMs.

You look at the wrong place for config file ;)

pls check the file here: /etc/ultimate-updater/

[aaron-saks]

Thanks. I did not see that file location anywhere in the documentation. May be useful to list that one line of the file location.

Anyway, my config looks good. Nothing disabled. But yet it don't update the VMs, only LXC.
