As a user I should be able to disable the update notice

[urda]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Semi-related. I thought of this request due to having to "pin" to not-latest-versions of portainer.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the "option" to disable the update notice in the bottom left of the portainer UI in the toolbox gutter.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None that I am aware of.

Additional context

This is the UI element I am referencing:

This feature request came to mind after having to hold back upgrades because of other (reported) portainer issues.

[urda]

Issues like:

• #3432
• #3575

Sometimes means I can't upgrade to the latest right away. I totally understand that FOSS development is messy so sometimes one can't be on the latest-and-greatest. However, this notice is somewhat bothersome when I am on purpose a version or two behind.

[urda]

As always portainer devs, your efforts and work help make this product and my life fantastic. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated :)

Don't forget about the news banner that always shows up, after dismissing it a hundred times.

This even happens on a brand new install.

@sfkpmr IIRC Portainer keeps track of whether the MOTD banner has been disabled by the user in the browser cookies. So if you're constantly clearing cookies you're going to see that banner again and again. @xAt0mZ correct me if I am wrong on this

Also thanks for letting us know about the out of date MOTD, I will pass this on to the team to get this updated!

[xAt0mZ]

True, Portainer is keeping track of the UI State in the cookies (portainer.UI_STATE cookie to be exact) so yes, if you delete the cookies, state resets.

[urda]

Is there a way to have portainer track this information instead of a cookie?

[ncresswell]

We can look to add an option in future versions.

[amffej]

any updates on this?

[neo-neo1]

Would also want this. I assumed this would have been a feature by now.

[mcrapts]

Any news? There's basically an update every week it seems so I have a permanent big orange update button. I understand, there's an update but Portainer is not critical to me at all so please don't put in my face.

[urda]

I would still like this feature

Partial Fix: Use ublock origin 'element picker' feature on chrome to block the upgrade icon.

This is the most annoying thing. With everything nagging you nowadays, I was hoping to have my own local stuff not nag.

If your Portainer instance is running in container, just add host mapping for api.github.com:0.0.0.0

[urda]

It looks like, given: https://github.com/portainer/portainer/blob/develop/api/http/handler/status/version.go#L62-L66

• It should be possible to fetch a configuration value to just skip this check.

In 2.15, which should be released soon, we hope to add a 'Dismiss' option to the update banner.

Freaking awesome. Can't wait to try it out.
