RunCloud Agent Update Alert

It is highly recommended that you use the latest RunCloud agent to access the newest features and have the best experience while using RunCloud.

We have enhanced the process by displaying information on the server dashboard/summary page when a new version of the RunCloud Agent is available on your server.

  • A "New Version Available" info badge will appear 1 hour after a new agent release.
  • An "Update Required" warning badge will be displayed if either the automatic agent update fails after 72 hours (3 days) or a new major version is released.
  • An "Outdated Agents" danger badge will be shown if your server has not received the latest agent update after 7 days, in case the automatic agent update failed for any reason on your server.

Clicking the badge will open a modal popup where you can find more information on how to manually update the RunCloud agent on your server or trigger another agent update retry within 2 hours by clicking "Update" button.

RunCloud Agent v2.8.1+2

This update will automatically be applied to your server within the next 72 hours. If you do not receive the update within this timeframe, please contact our support team, and they will assist you with a manual update of your server(s).

This new agent includes the following updates:

OpenLiteSpeed (OLS)

  • Fixed: A custom user's phpIniOverride configuration block in a web application could prevent the default RunCloud's phpIniOverride from applying to this web application.

Cloudflare Dashboard and Cloudflare API Service Issues

Cloudflare is currently experiencing issues with its dashboard and API (view status page).

We've deployed a hotfix to prevent our panel from throwing 500 errors due to the downtime with Cloudflare's API. However, the domains and DNS integration via Cloudflare will appear empty in your RunCloud dashboard as they rely on receiving responses from the Cloudflare API, which is currently unavailable.

Cloudflare is well aware of the issue and is working on getting to the bottom of it as soon as possible. They have a good reputation for handling infrastructure-related issues diligently, including proper post-mortems. 

On behalf of Cloudflare, thank you for your patience & we understand dealing with downtime is never easy. If any websites you host for others are affected, this would be a good time to send over an email to let them know if their sites are down proactively.
