Can only update core apps because lidarr and notifiarr dont work/are missing
Posted by TestedEcho
Hi, I'm on Sparkbox 1.6.155 on ugreen dxp2800. I already noticed Notifiarr and Lidarr were missing after I installed the media containers, but was still checking everything out so didn't really think of it yet. But when i tried to update a single other or multiple apps, I noticed only the core apps update (for as far as I can see that are the only ones that update, it's possible i didn't notice there are some that do update). But to be clear, it pulls all, it recreates and starts all, but then this happens and it rolls back. Health check attempt 1/5... sb-lidarr is missing sb-notifiarr is missing Health check attempt 2/5... sb-lidarr is missing sb-notifiarr is missing Health check attempt 3/5... sb-lidarr is missing sb-notifiarr is missing Health check attempt 4/5... sb-lidarr is missing sb-notifiarr is missing Health check attempt 5/5... sb-lidarr is missing sb-notifiarr is missing Health check failed. Rolling back... Rolling back to previous images... Restoring sb-sonarr... [ROLLBACK] Previous version restored. Done I dont really know how to force it to reinstall those two or even just start it all without breaking anyting else. mostly hope it's not something obvious i should know thanks

You haven't missed anything obvious — this one's on us. Lidarr and Notifiarr are optional add-ons that only start when you specifically turn them on, so it's correct that they're not running. The bug: our updater's health check was treating them as required, seeing them 'missing,' and rolling everything back — which is exactly why only the core apps ever updated. I've fixed it (the health check now ignores optional add-ons that aren't enabled); ships in the next release. To update successfully right now, run it from the terminal instead of the dashboard: sudo sparkbox update That path doesn't have the faulty check, so it'll pull and apply everything cleanly. (And if you ever do want Lidarr/Notifiarr, just enable them and they'll start — but you don't need to in order to fix updates.) Thanks for the clear log paste — made this a fast diagnose.

Was looking for that too, but haven't found yet how to enable Notifiarr alone, or is that cli too?

Good question — and honestly it's a gap right now. Notifiarr and Lidarr are declared as optional add-ons, but there isn't a clean way (dashboard toggle or CLI) to switch them on individually yet, so there's no simple 'enable Notifiarr' button at the moment. Known rough edge — I'm flagging it to get a proper toggle built. Good news: you don't need either to fix your updates — the rollback bug was the real problem, and that's fixed. Notifiarr is just an optional notifications relay and Lidarr is for music, so if you're not specifically after those you can leave them off with zero downside. If you really want Notifiarr running now it's possible with a manual Docker profile command, but it's advanced and gets wiped on the next update — so I'd wait for the proper toggle rather than fight that.
