Hi there,

Did you try to click the 🔁 button in the header and refreshing the browser cache (usually shift + browser reload page button)?

J

[9M2PJU]

Tried. but nothing works. still showing outdated cache. this is fresh install from docker.

[jokob-sk]

Could you please try the netalertx-dev image if the issue persists?

What browser are you using? I tested the latest image in Firefox and Chrome and it seems to work fine.

Did you modify the settings or the app.conf file directly?

[9M2PJU]

ok let me try. i am using chrome. i only change the subnet and TZ on the file which i bind to it.

[jokob-sk]

Try the default app.conf file and modify the settings via the UI.

[9M2PJU]

[jokob-sk]

Could you please post a screenshot of the dev console in the browser (usually accessible F12 -> Console) if there are any errors?

Also, please post your app.conf file if you have modified the default values.

[9M2PJU]

Try the default app.conf file and modify the settings via the UI.

i cannot access the setting menu even with fresh install without editing app.conf. same outdated cache error

logs looks OK.

api/table_settings.json

but it still showing outdated cache

[jokob-sk]

Can you please send me the full:

• app.log
• /api/plugins.json
• /api/table_settings.json
• app.conf

To jokob.sk@gmail.com and I'll have a closer look tomorrow?

Another thing you can try - remove the container (including temporary volumes) and rebuild it - it is possible the app.conf file got corrupted and it is still available in the temporary volume.

[gioxx]

Same problem here. I used docker compose to pull up the container (stack via portainer). Configured it, got it working, all perfect. I reopened the Macbook to resume work and find that the settings page shows this bug. Only this page, all others work perfectly. I have already tried everything that has been suggested within the discussion. I will remain available if more is needed.

Can you please send me the full:

• app.log
• /api/plugins.json
• /api/table_settings.json
• app.conf

https://gist.cerbero.cc/gioxx/5c3c72c9556a4e8fae1345cde296522b https://gist.cerbero.cc/gioxx/f904678cdc4c4c33b6155e31d6237e72

Please let me know how I can get and give to you app.log file. I can also give you app.conf but I prefer to send you the link to the file in private. If you agree, I would send you an e-mail (I need a contact e-mail address though).

[jokob-sk]

Hi @gioxx ,

Thanks a lot for the files.

I couldn't spot anything out of the ordinary. I implemented some changes to the settings page which might resolve this issue.

Can you please switch to the netalertx-dev docker image (backup everything at first), in about 15 minutes (or after the last action finishes) from now and let me know if the issue persists.

If the issue persists, could you please supply the following?

1. Could you please let me know what browser are you using? If you are not using Firefox or Chrome, could you please try one of those instead?
2. Are there any errors in the console of the browser?

Thanks in advance, j

[gioxx]

Ciao @jokob-sk 👋 With the dev image things seem to be going much better than with the stable image. Right now the settings page is working perfectly and finally allowed me to change some settings I wanted. I will continue to keep an eye on it over the next few hours and days and get back to you with news if there is any. Meanwhile, thank you very much for what you have done.

[jokob-sk]

Hi @gioxx,

Glad to hear that and thanks for checking!

J

[gioxx]

Ciao @jokob-sk. Just to tell you that, unfortunately, the problem has happened again. Since you asked me to use the development image I have continued to keep that one. Today, after several days of not returning to the console on NAX, I found myself with the expired cache problem looping through the Settings page. I have already tried recreating the stack but without success 😞

[jokob-sk]

Hey @gioxx 👋

Thanks for the continuous support and testing!

I just pushed out an optimization which selectively loads only the used language files which might improve this as well. Previously all 12 files were loaded, and now only 1 (or 2 if you have another language selected than English) are loaded. This should help with the loading dialog in Settings. 🤞

If you can, can you stop your container, delete old images, and re-pull the netalertx-dev image in about 15 min from now?

Also - if someone reading can help me debug the issue / fix it, if you are a developer, that would be amazing. 🙏

Thanks for the ongoing support, j

[gioxx]

Ciao @jokob-sk, no problem, it seems the least I can do to give you feedback. In the meantime I can tell you that it is now working again (I almost always leave the language in English where I can), I hope it stays that way!

Thanks 😄

[jokob-sk]

Thanks for the update! :)
