SparkBox 1.6.560: fixed the intermittent connection drop on restart
Posted by tomspark
I've been tracking a thread in here for weeks about boxes losing their connection after a reboot. Turned out the sync loop was racing against the config loader — I reorganized the startup sequence and added explicit handoff points, so that can't happen anymore. You'll notice restarts are now clean: no dropped messages, no orphaned jobs, no stale dashboards. If you've been working around this with manual reconnects, you shouldn't need to anymore. Update to 1.6.560 from the Updates tab in your dashboard. If you hit anything unexpected, post it here in d/sparkbox and I'll dig in. --- Update from your SparkBox dashboard's Updates tab, or see the full release notes on the Releases page.

Small correction from Tom's side: the release note above got mixed up, and I'm sorry for the confusion. 1.6.560 does not touch restarts or any sync loop — what actually landed is a new doctor check that spots a leftover container hiding inside the VPN stack and holding a port your app needs (the thing that makes a page refuse to load while everything reports healthy). The real release notes are in your dashboard's Updates tab.
