Karakeep not updating since 0.28.0~ynh1

pivic · January 14, 2026, 3:21pm

What app is this about, and its version: Karakeep, 0.28.0~ynh1
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.1.39 (stable).
What type of hardware are you using: Raspberry Pi 3, 4+

Describe your issue

After Karakeep version 0.28.0~ynh1, I’ve not been able to upgrade the application. I see a prior post about this: Karakeep not working after upgrade to 0.29.1~ynh1

At the time of writing, the latest version of Karakeep for Yunohost is 0.30.0~ynh1. I’ve tried to do a clean install as well. Attached are logs for a failed installation.

Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your help! Here’s the results:

I’m not sure if this helps, but here’s another line I ran with the results:

P.s. I just uninstalled Karakeep completely and then installed the latest version. The installation failed and here’s the installation log which, I believe, points to a problem in the installation script: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/demedalivu

The log still points to a connection issue.
Could you run a connection speed test ?

pivic · January 15, 2026, 10:24am

I just ran speedtest, got 3 Mbit/s both upload and download.

otm33 · January 15, 2026, 1:14pm

Hypothesis: it might be too low to download ‘‘large’’ packages before timing out.
Did you run into such issues before?

Can you ping registry.npmjs.org

pivic · January 16, 2026, 12:42pm

Yes, it works:

I’ve not come across the problem before.

I just tried to install Karakeep from scratch. Here’s the main window in the Yunohost GUI:

Here’s the logs: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/exoxebegoz

At this point, I feel like I’ll just skip using Karakeep and go with Linkwarden instead.

Thanks a lot for all of your help, dear people!

jarod5001 · January 16, 2026, 2:31pm

It looks like a timeout issue.

I’ve just updated my karakeep instance without issues.

Can you try yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/karakeep_ynh/tree/timeout

I just tried switching Wi-Fi network and that did the trick! You both were correct, @otm33 and @jarod5001 , thanks a lot!

The new network downloads at 50 Mbit/s and uploads at 40 Mbit/s. So inadequate network speed seems to have been the problem.

Good to know. I’ll close the PR
