App store empty after installing / removing development app

[j-5-s]

I'm trying to install a basic react app following the documentation on here. After installing my app it removed all apps from the UI so umbrel.local showed none of my previously installed app. Also the settings page showed 0's for storage and ram as well as no apps in the app store. After uninstall the app the original apps came back to the homepage and the settings appears correct, however the store is still empty. Looking for solution on how to fix the app store as well as what is wrong with my custom app that broke it.

Steps to reproduce the issue (im running on a new raspberry pi 4)

1. ssh [email protected]
2. cd umbrel
3. sudo ./scripts/repo checkout https://github.com/jamescharlesworth/umbrel-apps.git
   • my fork of umbel-app and react-app dir where the development app is
   • The react app that generates the docker image is here.
4. sudo ./scripts/app install react-app After doing this command the homepage and settings and search is empty
5. (remove the app) sudo scripts/app uninstall react-app this does not appear to have completed successfully with the following output:

   umbrel@umbrel:~/umbrel $ sudo scripts/app uninstall react-app

The homepage and settings is restored after doing this but app store is still empty:

Also after installing the app it does run and is working, running on port 3002:

Looks like this is due to not including some required fields in umbrel-app.yml

from looking at the logs in the manager container getumbrel/manager:v0.5.3 logs I see

2022-12-01T12:00:34.718Z ERROR: undefined [/v1/apps?installed=1] Cannot read property 'map' of undefined {"data":"TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined\n    at /app/logic/apps.js:66:31\n    at Array.map (<anonymous>)\n    at addAppMetadata (/app/logic/apps.js:56:15)"}

so its failing cause gallery is not defaulted to an empty array here.

After fixing that in my umbrel-app.yml (branch with fixes) I found that dependencies is required as well others the frontend app and is throwing an error here.

Fixes those two things makes all things work as expected. What i have not figured out is why installing the broken app and then removing it persists some broken state so that the app store page is still broken. Some install command is maybe updating a json file somewhere and on uninstall doesn't get cleaned up?

@jamescharlesworth Thanks for reporting this issue. We're moving as quickly as possible to improve the overall developer experience with Umbrel. As you can tell, this is definitely a shortcoming on our part and we'll improve on this ASAP!

I am running into the same issue. Where are the logs that could hint at what the problems are ?

[j-5-s]

iirc ssh into the device and from the ~/umbrel directory run:

docker-compose logs

I figured out a few points that may help:

• Umbrel is acting strange... I ran into cases where one reboot did not fix things... a second did
• the main issue I think people are having is sudo. See below

Using sudo and docker can be confusing. I suggest people running into issue to check the content of /root/umbrel/repos and $HOME/umbrel/repos.

As first tip, I would suggest not using sudo but using sudo -i once and then running all commands without sudo to ensure 100% of the commands are done as root.

Still if adding a repo fails, reboot and try again. I know how it sounds but it fixed it for me twice.

I am having the same issue, any updates?

So far the only convenient option I found is to replace the main store with my branch with a checkout. That excludes all the official apps but at least I can see my changes. While this is no solution, it allows moving on at least. I think that an issue remains since the sample repo does work whereas a practically identical user repo fails. I suspect a bug and if this is not the same, some script to check a repo could be useful.
