Description
The last 2 times I've used the updater I've been getting stuck here:

I have to manually click the "Retry" button like 16 million times and it completes, apparently fine, and checking the version when it's done shows it's the latest version. Any solution to this? I'm getting carpal tunnel in my right index finger. :p
I'm using the containerized version:
nextcloud:
# https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/nextcloud
image: linuxserver/nextcloud:latest
container_name: nextcloud
hostname: nextcloud
environment:
- TZ='America/Chicago'
volumes:
- "scotts_nextcloud:/config" # Nextcloud Configs
- "/i/Nextcloud:/data" # Storage area
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
- ocs
- odb
