Well I know it's an ever-bearing that's supposed to produce fat berries cant find my tag
Do they get pollinated? What temp are you growing them in? Sunlight?
It kind of looks like one of the Alpine strains which will give you small fruit. The larger varieties usually their fruit drops down (in a pot it would be hanging over the rim. The smaller Alpine fruit will be pointing more upwards depending on the light.
Here is mine that is pretty small plants but decent size strawberry for first pot. The bigger one usually get twice big as that. I actually collected a bunch today and ate them xD tasted pretty sweet
.Mine are positioned to get more or less full sun, its is some old variety that is active whole summer, ive had them for years. Just split them up every two years and refresh soil that is.

My 1st thought is pollination? The plant is flowering but some berries are forming as dry nubs .. Some look like they will become healthy adult berries (Ok i'm laughing I said adult berries lol) I'm being pro active last 2 times I tried strawberries I got tons of runners and no berries and if berries formed they were just dried out nubs.

Are your strawberries fine? Yours should be ripe by now, it takes roughly 3-4 weeks to ripen from flower to fruit.
If those are Fragaria vesca hybrid/subspecies fruit will be smaller @size of you thumb nail.
