Hi,
today you did some releases but my plugin does not see them ...

version 2.13 I got by manually doing a git pull.
somehow the update does not work

Some debug info

2026-06-29 15:18:56.300  PyPluginStore: Checking Plugin:00-PyPluginStore for updates
2026-06-29 15:18:56.304  PyPluginStore: Git Fetch Error:fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/opt/domoticz/userdata/plugins/00-PyPluginStore'

Thanks for the debug log. The problem is Git refusing the checkout because the plugin folder ownership does not match the user running Domoticz.

I uploaded a fix that detects this case, logs a clearer message, tries to repair ownership for managed plugin folders, and retries the Git command. It does not use safe.directory.

For this install, you likely need one manual repair before PyPluginStore can update itself again. Run this with the correct Domoticz service user/group for your system, for example:

sudo chown -R domoticz:domoticz /opt/domoticz/userdata/plugins/00-PyPluginStore

Then restart Domoticz and try the update again.

To avoid this in the future, do not run manual git pull in the plugin folder as root or another user. If you do manual maintenance there, run it as the Domoticz service user or change ownership back afterward.

my "older" domoticz runs as pi.pi and the newer under docker as root.root ...
both fail to update until now ...
I will pull manually later this evening
(I allways pull as the user running domoticz btw)

Thanks for the response. Looking forward to your experience. The log and autorepair should be enough. to fix future issues. Please comment. I'm reopening the issue to track this.

Ok, on both machines ...

needed to do a chown -R root:root on the 00-PyPluginStore

did a git pull to get version v2.14.0
needed to restart domoticz on the non-docker
on the docker needed to restart the container...

In the logging it "fixed" the ownership of plugins, changed most to root:root

AND, one of the plugins got a "green" update button !

seems to work for me now.
Time to see others ...

Good to hear. Closing this issue then. It will log the situation more clearly for others as well now. Sorry for the broken update.
