Using official docker image and for the past 3y it worked just fine. Atm I am on 4.6.2 version. I noticed that 4.7.(1) is out but I am not getting any info about it in the UI.
Console core:update also registered no pending updates, so my question is, how do I “force” this check or is the only way to download the zip manually and install it?
I have updated the docker image already with 4.7.1 (latest tag), but as always there is a need to update via UI, but as said, this is not registering at all.
This happens, when Matomo is not allowed to do external requests (e.g. firewall), which is in general a good security measure. You can either whitelist Matomo to check for updates externally, or do the Update manually (download archive & replace files).
This is odd because there was no change on my end regarding FW settings or anything for that matter that could prevent communication to the outside world. Also, the container has a normal communication with the outside world.
If I were to whitelist certain destinations, what exact destination(s) should it be in this particular case? Asking as I don’t do any outgoing/incoming blocking for Matomo, so can’t really detect them.
Tnx again!
UPDATE: figured out. Did a wget towards builds.matomo.org and got a LE cert error. Looks like a DNS cache problem on my end as the new ROOT CA is not detected. Will fix it.
Just wanted to add, that even though the problem with dns cache/cert error that I had yesterday is resolved, checking for updates still returns no new updates.
Can you try making a request to https://api.matomo.org/1.0/getLatestVersion/?piwik_version=3.14.1-b2&php_version=7.2.5&mysql_version=5.7.0&trigger=CoreHome&timezone=UTC with your correct versions (ideally from the server)?
Once I bash into the running container, and try to do wget i get this
root@0b0ae4e81676:/var/www/html# wget
bash: wget: command not found
On top of this, I am gunning for 4.7.1 version but my SQL version and PHP is on a different version as well.
Matomo version: 4.6.2
MySQL version: 5.7.9
PHP version: 8.0.15
So my question here is do I have to align the URL to match as well?
I would like to say that using wget from a bare metal docker host works fine, it’s just that from the docker contianer this doesn’t work. Also, I never did it this way as it was never needed.
Tnx for any insight on this. I do plan on recreating a new container directly from 4.7.1 image and connect it to the existing config/DB, but just want to see if there is anything else that I can do before going that route.
Now the question is if your Matomo server is able to make that same HTTP request. You could maybe try curl instead of wget (also because it directly displays the response)
Tnx for the feedback. I am open to trying to do a manual pull and try it that way, but just wanted to doublecheck that the unziped content can stay inside its “matomo” folder or do I need to have the whole structure in a specific location before it can be detected as a new pending version to be installed?
Just an update. After trying to recreate a fresh container and connecting it to the same content, the problem still persisted. I used a fresh 4.9.0. image.
Eventually using the manual process method, the update was detected and executed. Will keep an eye out if the future update will be detected automatically.
