The package list is reappearing, everything looks OK :D (except for the console client).
I'm now going to tackle adding the repositories.

Thanks everyone for your help!

From my console (version 1.5.11), when I generate the agent, everything goes smoothly. So I go to the portal to download the agent, and that's where the problem starts: it shows version 1.3.11. :shock:
CTRL F5?

I noticed that wapt doesn't install/download on demand, let me explain.

Basically, you have to create a group containing the software via the console, assign this group to the machine(s) which, after the package update, will download all the components of this group.

Then, the user, by going to localhost:8088 via the web browser, will only be able to trigger the installation if they have been added to the SYSTEM group "waptselfservice", which must first be created on the client.

When the user requests the installation, they simply need to enter their usual login credentials to authorize it.

Yes, that's normal behavior; there's also waptexit or forcing installations from the console.

To see the fundamental principles:
