Stacks list empty on image newer than 2025.10.13

[knakkwurst]

When updating to an image newer than 2025.10.13, I am greeted with "Compose your first stack!"
A bug maybe?

[DEEJCUK]

same, pinning to to 2025.10.13 and it works again

log shows :

Same error here.

Hello,

The maintainer has submitted a fix in PR #25.

@cmcooper1980 could you please merge it?

Thank you!

[rchekhina]

HI,

try this :

docker compose down
docker system prune -f -a --volumes
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d --force-recreate

best regards.

[Angrite]

Hi, thanx a lot, this solved my issue!

[DEEJCUK]

working! thanks

[Angrite]

Update: after an active workload that includes containers rebuilds and Dockge restarts, the problem is back with the same error message in the log. However, the workaround still helps.

[cmcooper1980]

see new release with this merged

[Angrite]

Looks to me like the problem is solved with the new release

[Drakonas]

This issue is back for me.

I'm on both the 'image-management' and 'latest' images, and every time I stop a stack, it causes the stacks list to become empty. The workaround by rchekhina fixes it until I stop or restart a stack.

I get TypeErrors: "composeStatus is not iterable" all throughout my docker logs.

Unless I didn't push the image out, the "image-management" tag/branch should be up to date with the master...I'll check the docker hub now

[cmcooper1980]

I just confirmed and the images are both up to date. Please run the same commands I had @rchekhina run.

I tested by both just changing my image tag in my compose and running the down, pull, prune, and up commands as well as spinning up another instance pointed to a different/fresh config directory and the stack list populated without issue and even sees my other instance running the master as an agent

I tried with a new image tag in my compose and a brand new directory (fresh database file). Same issue.

The workaround from rchekhina is not a permanent fix for me. Once I stop a stack, it breaks again every time. I went through all my testing in a new post: #35

I get these when stopping a stack:

[mbaran5]

I am also experiencing this - please let me know if there's any information I can share. I am using the latest release.

[cmcooper1980]

This should now be fixed in latest image version/tag 2026.02.15

[DEEJCUK]

I checked settings/about after pulling latest and noticed it shows version 1.5.0 which is not the expected version as it seems to still pull this info from the origin repo in
