N8n on TrueNAS Scale latest Release vs Pre-Release (Beta)

Questions
1

Hello all, I am running n8n on my TrueNAS Scale (25.10.1) natively, i.e installed via the Discover Apps.

I am trying to update to the latest release but I notice that it tries to install the pre-release beta (2.2.1) instead of the latest stable release (2.1.4). I have the stable tag selected in the settings but it only gives me the option to update to the pre-release beta.

Anyone know how to fix it so that it only updates to the latest stable release or at least give me the option to chose what release to install?

Hi :waving_hand: This happens because the TrueNAS Scale app catalog sometimes prioritizes the latest available version in its repository, including pre-releases, even if “Stable” is selected. Try this out

  1. Manually install the stable version: Download the Docker image or Helm chart for n8n 2.1.4 and update the app manually.

  2. Check catalog settings: Ensure the catalog is fully updated and that the “Stable Only” toggle is applied correctly. Sometimes a refresh is needed for the correct version to appear.

  3. Wait for catalog sync: The app catalog may not have indexed the latest stable release yet; it usually shows up after the next catalog refresh.

Currently, TrueNAS doesn’t provide a direct way to select a specific version from the UI if it prioritizes a pre-release.
