nginx-proxy-manager fails to update from 2.12.6 to 2.13

[DarkAllMan]

Updating the LXC gives error about node versions. So I created a new LXC, but this one also installs 2.12.6 and not 2.13
What we I do to update to 2.13?

[MickLesk]

Its not marked as latest Release.

[gabriellxxix]

It’s already marked, but it still gives an error — maybe it has to do with the breaking changes in NPM for this version.

[DarkAllMan]

But on the script page it does show that version:

[MickLesk]

that say nothing, its an release crawling from newreleases.io, but the dude of npm repo hasnt set the release as "latest", only tagged.

[DarkAllMan]

ok, clear. Thank you.

[MickLesk]

currently we refactor to new version, so please patience, there are a lot of breaking changes

[DarkAllMan]

Seems a new release is now marked as latest 2.13.1
Probably some more breaking changes :)

Ran 'update' inside my npm LXC, now it's broken. Any idea what I could do?

trying to run it again I get

• Downloading NPM v2.13.2
  [ERROR] in line 87: exit code 0: while executing command tar -xz &> /dev/null

Yeah, install back when it was tteck's script

systemctl status npm

Then Run our Script and Not tteck - in verbose

[bricedupuy]

Thank you for the quick answers,
how would I go about running your script to update my already installed LXC ?

[MickLesk]

With the Same call Like Install - but in the LXC

[bricedupuy]

Thanks, for the great help
Updated what needed to be done, back in working order.
