Don't offer upgrades for a Tentacle that can't be upgraded

I have a tentacle running on a Windows Server 2003 machine (don’t ask!).

Because the highest version of .NET that can be installed on this OS is 4.0, I am limited to running the 3.0.x releases of Tentacle software.

While it is true that I can change the settings for that tentacle to lock to the current version and not upgrade it, even then the Connectivity tab for the tentacle still says “3.0.25.0 (upgrade available)” in bright(ish) yellow - which for this machine is incorrect.

Can Octopus not suggest that an upgrade is available for a tentacle if the operating system will not support the newer version?

thanks,
David

Hi David,

Thanks for getting in touch. Does the message cause a problem?

I wonder whether we could detect the OS and hide it if it is that particular version.

Well a problem only in the sense that it jumps out for my attention even
though there’s nothing I can do about it :slight_smile:

Detecting the OS and suppressing if appropriate would be ideal.

Hi David,

Thank you for that. We currently don’t track what version is running on a machine, so it’s not a quick fix. You can however add your comment and votes to the UserVoice ticket here: https://octopusdeploy.uservoice.com/forums/170787-general/suggestions/13735713-allow-tentacles-to-upgrade-to-highest-possible-ver.
