This prevents AttributeError when containers are recreated after variable updates.

This causes ghost nodes to remain in memory. When project variables are updated, the code iterates through ALL nodes in memory and calls update() on them. For ghost nodes with VNC configuration, this triggers VNC startup attempts, resulting in 60-second timeouts waiting for X11 socket files that don't exist. The fix adds await node.project.remove_node(node) to ensure the node object is removed from the project's node collection when deleted, matching the behavior of other node types that use manager.delete_node() which already calls project.remove_node(). This resolves the issue where updating project variables after deleting a VNC Docker container would timeout with: 'x11 socket file "/tmp/.X11-unix/X100" does not exist' Fixes issue #2755 --- gns3server/api/routes/compute/docker_nodes.py | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/gns3server/api/routes/compute/docker_nodes.py b/gns3server/api/routes/compute/docker_nodes.py index 1d9e98530..3e30628a2 100644 --- a/gns3server/api/routes/compute/docker_nodes.py +++ b/gns3server/api/routes/compute/docker_nodes.py @@ -235,6 +235,7 @@ async def delete_docker_node(node: DockerVM = Depends(dep_node)) -> None: """ await node.delete() + await node.project.remove_node(node) @router.post( From 598029facec7ecc14ba0e27b4dbdc536eef44e47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YueGuobin Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 22:24:34 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 3/8] Optimize project variable updates to use parallel node processing Performance improvement for project variable updates when multiple containers are present. Previously, nodes were updated serially in a for loop, causing: - 5 containers: ~35 seconds (7s per container) - 10 containers: ~70 seconds - 20 containers: ~140 seconds (2min 20sec) Changed to parallel processing using asyncio.gather(), reducing total time to the duration of the slowest single node update (~7 seconds regardless of container count). The change maintains error handling with return_exceptions=True to ensure one node's update failure doesn't prevent others from completing. This is particularly important for users with large topologies containing many Docker containers that need to be recreated when project variables change.
