My iHost had been very reliable and stable until V2.8.0. After that update, it stopped responding afer about 2 weeks. Web UI would not load and ping to its IP was unresponsive. I did not change anything other than apply the V2.8.0 update. Is this a known problem? After I power cycled my iHost, from within the iHost UI, I sent a feedback/support request including my iHost logs - it has been 2 months withour a reply. How can I debug this problem? ---

They must be very busy, I’ve had a bug report for 5 months and finally I wrote to them saying I had already solved it differently. ---

> [@richards.roger](#): > > the V2.8.0 update. Is this a known problem? Many of us had an important failure of Matter bridge with this update. For me was the first important issue with my iHost. The team solved this about a month ago and since then has been stable. You should be on 2.8.1. Insist with support. ---

My iHost is at a vacation apartment so I don’t have physical access for another 2 months. I will update to 2.8.1 the next time i visit. In the mean time, most of my home automation is offlline. I wish there was a scheduled restart option as that might be a workaround for problems of this nature. ---

I still can’t get the matter bridge working and I have 2.8.23 ---

I’ve been using matterbridge installed in a docker within iHost. It has been solid for me. ---

Can you advise me which one? ---

In iHost docker, you can search for matterbridge and the one that works for me is: **luligu/matterbridge** [https://github.com/Luligu/matterbridge](https://github.com/Luligu/matterbridge) my config: network: host Volume matterbridge:/workspace/data once installed, the matterbridge web UI is here: [http://ihost.local:8283](http://ihost.local:8283) In the matterbridge web UI, I had to change the Commissioning Port settings due to a conflict with an iHost port: Commissioning Port 5540 \> **5541** I’m using matterbridge on iHost to integrate my many Shelly devices to Apple Home. ---

Thank you, I hope it goes better than it did in iHost. ---

I’m starting to get annoyed with the quality of updates. I can’t install Docker plugins on iHOST. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/ewelinkforum/original/2X/2/289858e58c154b545f29214ef7d4d4f4cf006096.png) You can press install and it doesn’t works. ---

I just tried it and get the same issue. iHost on V2.8.1 won’t install that matterbridge. I have just installed the same container on a Raspberry Pi, Cube V2.8.1 and it worked fine. Maybe a 32bit issue…. ---

It is. This error is in the iHost docker log. message":“no matching manifest for linux/arm/v7 in the manifest list entries” i’m no expert on this but looks like there’s no 32bit container in DockerHub for the latest version of that container. ---

Thanks for discovering this - I will not update my matterbridge install going forward. The 32bit nature of iHost is really starting to seriously impact its utility. ---

This is happening to me with other docker plugins as well. Either everyone has stopped supporting 32-bit versions or we have a serious problem. ---

I created my own repository [el404 (EL404)](https://hub.docker.com/u/el404) for the latest available applications for iHost. You can find Matterbridge by searching on iHost: el404/matterbridge-for-ihost To start: Network: host Volume: matterbridge:/workspace/data Go to: [http://ihost.local:8283](http://ihost.local:8283) → Settings → Commissioning Port 5540 \> 5541 → restart icon ---

I’ve created a Matter Server in Docker for iHost to enable Matter support in Home Assistant (docker). You can find it by searching: el404/ihost-matter-server Setup configuration: Network: bridge Ports: 5580:5580 5581:5581 5582:5582 5583:5583 Volume: matter: /data Access via: [http://ihost.local:5580/](http://ihost.local:5580/) (Web UI) Home Assistant Matter integration setup: ws://ip-your-ihost:5580/ws ---
