Waiting for running update to be finished

Seeing this message in my Watchtower logs.

Looking at prior posts it’s not clear what this is telling me:

  • Watchtower believes there is an upgrade in progress (or an upgrade failed during an upgrade), node operator intervention may be required. (This feels like how I and many others are interpreting this message)
  • Watchtower knows there is an update, but won’t install it on your node yet to ensure network stability.
  • Watchtower knows there is an update available, but not for Watchtower users yet
  • Nothing - Watchtower is happy.
  • Something else?

(I don’t see any logs attached?)

It’s literally just the following…

03/01/2025 8:20:37 AM
time="2025-03-01T13:20:37Z" level=info msg="Waiting for running update to be finished..."

… been the case since day 1 of V3

@Alexey - Can you confirm this is a known defect. While I appreciate it may just be a red herring (and posted as an INFO, not WARN or ERROR), it’s something the community should know exists and can safely ignore until a watchtower developer can improve the case statement that’s resulting this confusing messaging.

I didn’t think watchtower was part of an install anymore: since the node performs its own internal upgrades? (like is this a message from a deprecated component?)

No, it’s not a known problem/bug, so must be something local.

Currently I am showing :

v1.122.9 with “Your node is up to date. Current minimum version: v1.122.9”

Is this what’s currently being deployed, or do I need to redeploy the watchtower container on my Ubuntu node?

Also - @Roxor suggested watchtower is no longer needed - can anyone confirm?

I dont run watchtower and my nodes auto update

Are you on Linux or Windows?

Looks like I have the latest container pulled down, I guess I need to make sure that’s the container version that’s deployed.

It will get an update when the time to come, you need to wait.
