@Vincent-TP This release has killed my mongodb on my windows server installation - it errors out that it can't start mongodb - currently dead in the water. I did an upgrade to the latest stable version first, then to the beta. I also noticed that my java needed to be upgraded/patched so I ran that as well... not sure if that would be related for any reason

Seems like on Ubuntu 22.04 it requires an older version of MongoDB:
omadac : Depends: mongodb-server (< 7.1.0) but 1:3.6.9+really3.6.8+90~g8e540c0b6d-0ubuntu5.3 is installed or
mongodb-10gen (< 7.1.0) but it is not installable or
mongodb-org-server (< 7.1.0) but it is not installable

I had the same problem when I upgraded the controller for one of the kids, it turned out to be a java problem. installed new java from Adoptium and the problem was solved.

Is adoptium the version bundles with the controller? Did you uninstall Java and install the adoptium version? Was it the JRE LTS 21?

@Vincent-TP This is working in my Proxmox LXC, three four five things so far (in addition to cloud access being broken like everyone else mentioned):
- Even though the deb installation stops and starts the service I had to stop/start the tpeap service again after the update before I could access the web ui
- This controller update caused an unexpected WiFi disruption, dropping wireless hosts from the network, and some did not re-connect after (have to go debug that now)
- The top-left id="fix-menu-btn" button causes this error when clicked (I assumed it would hide/collapse the left menu, but it does nothing but pop up this error message: "Something went wrong. Please try again later or contact our technical support."
- The results of WLAN Optimization are not readable in Dark mode:
- The color of the CPU and Memory are swapped in the top legend of the Usage (%) Graph under Statistics (orage is CPU in reality)
Edit Updates:
- Added #4
- Added #5
