Hi @kapa.ai we are using the self-managed version of airbyte runnnig version 2.0.1 on an EC2 instance. supposedly the software should show you when an update is available for a source connector, however on our frontend updates are not showing even though many updates exist for our various sources. Even more unexpected is that after updating the docker image tag to the latest the updtae button then appears, but now will show the previous version from which we just updated from. why? and how can we resolve?

This sounds like a known bug that has been reported in Airbyte. Based on the knowledge sources, there are two related issues worth highlighting: What's Happening 1. Updates not showing in the UI On self-managed plans, connector updates are opt-in — you should see a badge in the sidebar indicating available updates, and you can apply them via the settings page. [connector updates] If updates aren't appearing at all, this may be a bug. 2. After updating the Docker image tag, the UI suggests reverting to the previous version This matches a reported bug in the GitHub issue tracker. A user on Helm Chart version
airbyte-2.0.19
reported that after successfully running "Upgrade all", the UI then suggested "updates" that were actually downgrades (e.g., current version
0.0.18
→ suggested "update"
0.0.17
). This affected 225+ sources and was identified as a bug in the version comparison logic. The Airbyte team escalated it for investigation and advised: do not accept the suggested "update" to avoid an unintended downgrade. [downgrade suggestion bug] There is also a separate confirmed bug in versions 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 where Docker connector version updates failed to persist, which was fixed in a subsequent release. [connector update bug] Recommendations 1. Do not accept the suggested "downgrade" shown in the UI, as it would revert your connector to an older version. 2. Upgrade your Airbyte platform to the latest available version, as these bugs appear to have been addressed in newer releases. 3. If you need to manually set a specific connector version in the meantime, you can pin a version via: ◦ Workspace settings > Sources/Destinations → Edit the connector → Set the Default Version. [pin version] 1. Consider reporting your specific case on the Airbyte GitHub or community forum with logs and connector details to help the team investigate further. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
