Description

Bug Description

When updating linkace docker image (with a docker volume mounted on /app/storage), the docker image startup process does not clear application cache.

As a result, the linkace version displayed at the bottom of linkace pages stays the same and keep alerting that an update is needed.

I think this is the least of the possible issues.

How to reproduce

  1. install linkace 2.1.9 using docker with a docker volume mounted on /app/storage.
  2. browse the site a little as a logged in user.
  3. update the image to 2.2.0 4.browse the site as a logged in user. The bottom of the pages stays at 2.1.9.

Expected behavior

The docker image clear the cache at startup with php artisan cache:clear.

Research direction
Investigate the Docker entrypoint script in the repository (likely entrypoint.sh or similar) to add a 'php artisan cache:clear' command before starting the application. Test the fix by building a new Docker image and verifying that the cache is cleared on startup. Check the existing startup scripts for any cache related commands and ensure consistency.
