Research direction
Explore the admin panel code to locate where the installed version is fetched. This is likely in an API endpoint or a controller that queries the database or a configuration file. Examine the error handling for 'Unable to fetch installed version'. Additionally, verify that the reverse proxy configuration allows the necessary API calls. Check the Docker environment for any missing version identifiers.
