Thank you for the script. It worked perfectly on my GL-A1300 to update the Tailscale version from 1.6.2 to 1.82.5

Maybe the update scripts ought to be pulled out of general threads and placed into a special update topic or linked on GL web pages. Wonder how hard it would be put these in gui?

I've did it several times remotely now. However, my remote routers are close enough that I could drive to them if something went wrong.

Thanks for trusting me and my script that often :seal:

304

Love the script and used it on my Brume 2. Just got my Comet KVM - have you tried the update Tailscale on a Comet using the script?

305

I don't own a comet yet, but you can simply try it, I would say.

306

After upgrading to version 1.1.1, you can use tailscale in the UI interface

307

I suggest that a gui feature to update things like tailscale and adguard be considered as part of gl-inet web admin panel maybe?

308

They already declined integrating it. Therefor nothing I could do here.

Ok thanks.

script fails on comet but it pretends not to. Can't read version file, find and edit starting script or properly compress config data but continues.

EDIT: it was actually updated but required a reboot.

Hi, amazingly helpfull stuff, thx!
Is it possible to make an installation permanent after it has already been installed?
regards

313

You could run --restore and then restart the script to make the installation permanent.

Or run those lines manually:

        if grep -q "/root/tailscale_config_backup/" /etc/sysupgrade.conf; then
            sed -i '/\/root\/tailscale_config_backup\//d' /etc/sysupgrade.conf
        fi
        if ! grep -q "/root/tailscale_config_backup/$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz" /etc/sysupgrade.conf; then
            echo "/root/tailscale_config_backup/$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz" >>/etc/sysupgrade.conf
        fi
        if ! grep -q "/usr/sbin/tailscale" /etc/sysupgrade.conf; then
            echo "/usr/sbin/tailscale" >>/etc/sysupgrade.conf
        fi
        if ! grep -q "/usr/sbin/tailscaled" /etc/sysupgrade.conf; then
            echo "/usr/sbin/tailscaled" >>/etc/sysupgrade.conf
        fi
        if ! grep -q "/etc/config/tailscale" /etc/sysupgrade.conf; then
            echo "/etc/config/tailscale" >>/etc/sysupgrade.conf
        fi
        if ! grep -q "/etc/config/tailscale" /etc/sysupgrade.conf; then
            echo "/etc/config/tailscale" >>/etc/sysupgrade.conf
        fi
        if ! grep -q "/usr/bin/gl_tailscale" /etc/sysupgrade.conf; then
            echo "/usr/bin/gl_tailscale" >>/etc/sysupgrade.conf
        fi
