My entire site was down, no idea why. I rebooted the server (on DO), everything seemed to kick back into gear, but I just logged into the Discourse dashboard and am getting this error:
```
A check for updates has not been performed lately. Ensure sidekiq is running.
```
Everything else seems fine. Running v1.5.0beta6+66.
I did a little digging, but didn’t find a solution. I tried a [rebuild per this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-check-for-updates-has-not-been-performed-lately/19268/4), no dice.
Is there an easy fix?
Thanks…

The job `Jobs::VersionCheck` runs daily – so simply waiting might solve your issue.
Alternatively, you can start the job manually from `/sidekiq/scheduler`.

Yup. Waiting was the solution. I just checked it & all is well.
Thanks Felix.
