Yes I understand this but this is a special image for AWS Lightsail 'Plesk hosting stack on Ubuntu' it has been configured especially for Lightsail if you try to update to the latest it does not work in this case 18.0.51 from updates might work on a regular install but not in this case

@Peter Debik does the AWS Lightsail image restrict users from updating to newer Plesk versions?

The current image available on Lightsail seems to be using Plesk 18.0.40, while the AWS marketsplace images seems to use 18.0.49.

@Kaspar It's correct that the image is 18.0.40. Upgrades are not restricted. @dayjur Could you please describe in more detail how you try to do the upgrade and what error message(s) you encounter when doing it?

My other instance updated itself to 18.0.49 which allows me to install NodeJS extension, question is how can I manually update to 18.0.49 I tried disabling auto install and check for package updates gives error

 

[Peter Debik]

Is the message shown in the screenshot the one that you have been getting before? Could you please describe in more detail how you try to do the upgrade and what error message(s) you encounter when doing it? There is another upgrade method, but I'd first want to make sure that the system is in a defined state before we proceed.

Tools Settings > Update Settings > Disable Auto Plesk Updates
SSH plesk stop installer
Tools Settings > Update Settings > Check for avail updates
Error: Unable to receive update information for the package(s)

ok seemed to have fixed it
SSH plesk installer stop
SSH plesk installer > it will then prompt you to go forward with updates
