Launch Docker Image no longer available in Cobia

[haifisch]

Hello,

I just realized after updating to Cobia that Launch Docker Image is no longer available.

I ran some apps this way and now those apps do not work. It would have been nice if the upgrade process checked for this and at least warned me about a feture being removed that was in use. Also the documentation still seems to reference this feature for example here

I know docker won't be back. But I had to get this out here. Maybe someone will read it and will know in advance.

PS: I know I could downgrade but I use some apps from Truecharts as well and they stopped supporting Bluefin.

It's still there. Go to "Apps/Discover Apps/Custom App"

Rather than making statements that may or may not be true, its better to ask questions.

Docker (container) images can be pulled and deployed.

Thats why I love this forum. Can you also explain why existing apps based on docker images are not starting after the update if the feature is still there? Do I now have to recreate them using the new Custom Apps option? Because then my point still stands apps are not starting up after upgrade and manual intervention is needed again.

The button was just called launch docker, it never actually did run native docker. It's a custom build helm chart usin a docker image.

Did you take a look at the container logs? Are there any erros in the logs? There's currently a gui caching bug in cobia that shows apps as deploying even though they're started ok. you can force refresh the apps page by pressing shift+f5.

The container would not even able to start in my case so there were no logs. In the end I recreated the app using the new Custom App feature with the same settings and same image and it worked. It is sharing an nvidia gpu with another app and those settings had to be configured differently now. Thanks!

If we are missing info in the release Notes, please provide feedback there as well.
