You can run from command line:

sudo -u www-data php updater/updater.phar

Not sure in your case you perhaps disabled the updater app or outgoing connections are blocked, …

Manually updating works fine. The server is behind a reverse proxy run by my main Apache web server. Am I missing something in the config that could be causing this?

[tflidd]

Manual updating is still different where you download the stuff yourself. Honestly, the method via CLI is less problematic, you have less risk to run into timeouts and you get the errors directly on the console if there are any. If you need the updater, you have to check your logs when you are calling the overview and then increase the loglevel so you can see the error messages.

When I say Manual Update, I’m referring to running it from command line. But I don’t get the notification that an update is available.

I have the same problem:

manually update is working. But I would like to be informed that there is a new version available.
And - to be honest - I dont trust an installation which is not working properly.

I had the same issue. In fact the “update notification” app had been disabled.
Simply re-enabled it.

Thanks Lilian! I’ve been struggling with this issue for some time now. I didn’t know that an app was needed to handle this.

[hessercan]

Thank you so much! I didn’t even realize I disabled that app. Funny thing is, I don’t mind it being disabled now. I only update when I can confirm things are stable anyway. I have less issues doing it the command line way. I’m just used to it now. But very handy information to have.
