Proxmox Helper Script - Komodo

[ljhardy]

Is anyone familiar with the Proxmox Helper Script to install Komodo in an LXC? Initial install was fine, working great, I see that 1.18.4 is out and the Helper Script says it's at 1.18.4:

...but when I run "update" in the LXC, I still have 1.18.3 installed. It looks like the "update" completes successfully, but the version doesn't change.

I updated Komodo manually.

How? Thanks

I logged in to the Komodo LXC and changed to the /opt/komodo directory. Stopped the current Komodo container, removed the current image, then used this docker compose command to pull the new image and bring up the container (this assumes you're using the mongo compose file)

docker compose -p komodo -f mongo.compose.yaml --env-file /opt/komodo/compose.env up -d

There might be an easier way, but this worked for me.

I had the same problem, and the following terminal command forces a new docker pull if there's a new Komodo release, and should always work (if you used a Helper script to originally install it):

docker compose -f /opt/komodo/mongo.compose.yaml up -d --force-recreate --pull always

So, I had this exact discussion with the maintainers of the helper scripts on Discord (pointing out that the Komodo docker images on Github were updated, so why doesn't the update script work?) and their answer was:

Thats n docker Image. We Pull the Files directly from there repo. If they dont update it, we cannot get more up to Date. Its an simple crawl of der GitHub, not the releases

I'm not knowledgeable enough to fight them on it, but I do think it highlights I problem I often run into with those scripts: you're completely reliant on the way the script dev wrote it. Even if updates are available, if they aren't in alignment completely with the way the project releases files, then you're stuck unless you do it yourself.

I could go down the list of other Helper script projects I've installed, only to later rip them out and install docker manually with my own compose files directly from the source project.

I don't know what they mean about pulling from GitHub. I don't see them making a distribution from source. And anyways, my release images are built from source right after new code merged to main... so whatever they are talking about should update too.

Could you provide a link to forum in which this is discussed?
