allow to restart containers without updating mastercontainer, if a mastercontainer update is available

[logan893]

Steps to reproduce

1. mastercontainer update is available - want to store a backup before proceeding
2. Stop all containers, to perform backup
3. Backup Fails
4. Unable to manually restart containers without updating, only "Update mastercontainer" option available

Expected behavior

Should be possible to restart containers without performing "update mastercontainer", e.g. if backup failed

Actual behavior

Can only proceed with "update mastercontainer", or accept that nextcloud remains down

accept that nextcloud remains down

It is possible to start them via CLI:
docker start $(docker ps -a --format {{.Names}} | grep nextcloud-aio | grep -v "borgbackup\|watchtower" )

Afterwards reload the AIO interface and you should see the new state.

Unfortunately this is not a solution. I just tried this, and it was perhaps not the best choice. But, now it's done.

It automatically started the mastercontainer update, at least that is what the AIO web admin UI told me, so that was unavoidable it seems, and the ticket is still valid. Now I am running Nextcloud AIO 9.7.0, before I was able to create a backup as I was intending.

This command also started the backup container, so now that is running while the other containers are starting. I manually stopped the container, since it typically asks you to stop the containers before running a backup.

You probably would have needed to reload the aio interface as it is only recreated on reload. So the command should have done its job and afterwards reloading should have shown the new state to you.

Right. forgot about the backup container.

I'll move this to the ideas section as this would be a new feature.

[apparle]

I'll second this as a useful feature for testing.
Recently I was testing a locally built image (to test a local change), and that naturally fails the hash comparison with latest repo release. This makes the mastercontainer think that an update is needed and doesn't allow me to proceed. I had to edit the update check to always return false to proceed with my testing.
It'd be much nicer to have a button on the UI to "bypass the update" and proceed anyway (at own risk, not dissimilar to the warning show by firefox for about:config)

I wanted to avoid any changes before a backup was completed. And backup failed, for reasons (separate discussion ticket).

But, with starting the containers, the mastercontainer update was forced. Is this unavoidable?

I think it also started the watchtower container which does the update.

So my fault again. I just updated the instructions.
