Please fix it. Literally the worst part of Portainer is that it does not tell you at all what you have been doing wrong. Good luck guessing why there’s a “Request failed with status code 400” error for a container that you just deployed seconds ago. Sometimes stopping the containers will fix it, sometimes removing the start commands, and other times it won’t work nonetheless what you have been doing. What a buggy mess!!
+1, please don’t throw random HTTP error codes without a descriptive message. This is extremely frustrating to the point where I’m better off doing a lot of stuff manually instead.
Same here. I saw this error when removing an environment variable for a running container. When I stop the container before, it is working. Thus, re-installing is not necessary.
