Unable to upgrade player firmware

See original GitHub issue

I am running the latest version of open source server though docker-compose.

It shows as version hash: 85008a, Aug 4 2021

I have a test Pi4 client currently running ver: 2.9.8/buster_10.8_admin_2021-02-25

If I press the upgrade button it shows a dialogue “Do you want to update Software from 2.9.8 to” with no version to upgrade to. Pressing OK shows the upgrading screen on the player display, but it reboots into the same version.

I can see that the player is requesting the file “/releases/piimageundefined-v14.zip”.

Looking in the docker volume I can see a number of release files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     711 Sep 10 11:28 server-package.json

I have tried to issue an upgrade command via the api without a version string and it fails in the same way (it looks like it should be picking up the version from a config file), but if I set explicitly set the version to piimage3.0.4.zip it will happily download /releases/piimage3.0.4-v14.zip and perform the upgrade.

My bad. I guess I had a typo in my posting, path should be /pisignage-server/data/ so please try ln -s /data/releases/ /pisignage-server/data/releases (but first move all files from /pisignage-server/data/releases to /data/releases/ and remove /pisignage-server/data/releases/

I am now getting the exact messages in my log as @vectisventuresltd after converting my install from native to Docker. The Symlink did not work for me either.
