Hi @Prakash and welcome to Mender Hub! As it is, this Update Module does not support passing arguments to the container. However, it is pretty easy to create a new module based on this one that could achieve that. Have a look at the Docker Update Module and generator source code (links in table above) for inspiration. One possibility could be to pass the parameters as an extra field in the meta-data contained in the Mender Artifact. ---

Are you using the latest mender-artifact tool v3.0.0? Make sure you download the latest one from [https://docs.mender.io/2.0/artifacts/modifying-a-mender-artifact#prerequisites](https://docs.mender.io/2.0/artifacts/modifying-a-mender-artifact#prerequisites) and install it in your path. ---

My Mender Server version : 2.0 Mender-artifact tool version : 3.0 I created the mender artifact for Hello-world docker image with Mender-artifact 3.0 tool. But when I want to deploy above docker image to device, mender client on the device throwing below error. I think there is version mismatch … My meta-mender version is thud-v2019.02-4-gdb6b761 May 23 12:54:37 imx6 mender[743]: level=error msg=“update install failed: installer: failed to read and install update: reader: unsupported version: 3” module=state May 23 12:54:37 imx6 mender[743]: level=info msg=“State transition: update-store [Download] -\> fetch-install-retry-wait [Download]” module=mender ---

It seems that you are not running Mender client 2.0.0, It is not the default and you have to actively enable that version, take a look here [https://hub.mender.io/t/mender-2-0-released-extending-update-capability/536/15](https://hub.mender.io/t/mender-2-0-released-extending-update-capability/536/15) for more information ---

I updated thud branch and now the version is thud-v2019.05-2-gae00ee7 and added below stuff in local.conf and i see mender\_client 2.0.0 in logs from my device… ```auto PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender = "2.%" PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender-artifact = "3.%" PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender-artifact-native = "3.%" ``` 1. Now I created mender artifact for hello-world docker and uploaded this artifact i.e **my-container-update-1.0** into server.This artifact size is 6kb and showing its type as rootfs-image in the server. 2. Downloaded the docker updated module in device @ /usr/share/mender/modules/v3. 3. After downloading this artifact into device, the device is getting rebooted and inventory shows current software as **my-container-update-1.0**. ---

Hi @ramu, How are you creating the Artifact? Using the `docker-artifact-get` script the resulting Artifact must be `module-image`, not `rootfs-image`. Can you copy here the commands you are using to create the Artifact? I think that somehow you are creating a `rootfs-image` Artifact probably containing only the Docker metadata (6kb?), but then the device will try to install it as if it was an actual full image update. ---

Thanks. Okey, so what is the output of: `mender-artifact read my-container-update-1.0.mender` ? It cannot be `rootfs-image`. ---

Thank you… I have tried with out signing the mender articraft for hello-world docker… Now **Docker Update module** able to download and start the docker. But mender server showing the current software for device as **my-container-update-1.0** (This is docker release) … I will try with signed one now… ---
