Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

Do the following:

  1. Open the container.
  2. Under Lifecycle, set Image pull policy to Yes.
  3. Select Pull and reinstall using latest tag.
  4. Save.

If Image pull policy was already enabled, could you share the Virtualmin Podman plugin version you’re using and screenshots showing both settings?

I don’t see any of those versions, possibly because I’m running rootless? not sure. My podman version:

Version 4.9.3+ds1-1ubuntu0.2

and on the last screen shot, when i pull from latest, is when this error occurs.

root@kvm:~# dpkg-query -W webmin-virtualmin-podman
webmin-virtualmin-podman 1.7.1

ah, fixed it.
my panels were not visible:

sudo sed -i \
's/^visible_panels=.*/visible_panels=ports,volumes,envs,meta,lifecycle/' \
/etc/webmin/virtualmin-podman/config

Glad it worked for you. We’ve released Virtualmin Podman 2.0.0 with many fixes and improvements. Please give it a try.

Yet it’s better to use the UI to edit the module config.
