How to update to the latest Tailscale version?
-
@mcding My suspicion is that it is related to the architecture of the system. My SG-3100 appliance is on ARM while yours is on Intel amd64.
-
Not surprisingly I had to manually delete the version I've installed the same way. PFSenses WebUI said 1.36.0 , but tailscales said 1.34.2.
I've deleted the package from package manager, and the manually.
pkg delete tailscale-1.34.2Then I could install it, and I got 1.36.0. Configurations remained.

@lbm_ that worked for me too, thanks for the tip!

Hi all,
Now that we have been running 23.01 on FreeBSD 14 for a while, I was wondering if there's any chance the Tailscale package might get updated more frequently. The packager manager version is still on 1.36 (~7 versions behind). While there is the workaround posted further up, I wouldn't mind staying the package manager path for convenience purposes. Or is the workaround now the 'official' way to get the latest version?
@cmcdonald seems to post commits to the latest version on https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commits/devel/security/tailscale but I am just not sure what pace of updates we can expect on the package version going forward.
Does anyone have more insights on this? :)
-
Yes, it would be great if the package is being updated more frequently. The latest versions do have some great improvements.

When does 1.40.0 get pushed out to our boxes?
-
Hopefully soon.
Some very good improvements in the latest version. -
@cmcdonald hate to ping you but was wondering if this was gonna get pushed out package wise!
-
@pfsenseuser1 It appears to be part of the updates in the 23.05 Beta
-
@juanzelli current version is now 1.48.2 do you think we will see any updates soon?
-
@dopeytree In the latest dev build (23.09.a.20230920.1314), I see this version
-
I haven't tried the 'bypass' installation mentioned earlier yet, but the default package seems so far behind in versions now that I would like to try it out.
My old Netgate SG-4860 unit is now running the pfSense 24.03 release on FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT. I was looking at Freshports, which seems to indicate I could run Tailscale 1.66.1_1.
Most links for Tailscale FreeBSD versions listed further above seem to be sourced from pkgs.org, however on that site, there is no FreeBSD 15 for Tailscale, only 1.66.0 for FreeBSD 14.
From which source would I be able to download the latest ports listed on Freshports?
Apologies but if there is any link on Freshports directly I simply cannot find it.
Any help greatly appreciated!

You can simply use the one for FreeBSD 14:
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.66.0.pkg
Works perfectly.
-
@mhache Many Thanks! Will try that one then. :)
-
Upgrade to Tailscale 1.66.0 worked perfectly.
In case anyone else encounters the FreeBSD mismatch error below, all worked perfectly fine nevertheless. :)
-
Awesome just updated. Locally it looks all good
Doesnt seem to show up on the tailscale admin interface
-
@pfsenseuser1 Restart the service in pfSense. When it reconnect, it will update the version in the Tailscale admin panel.
-
@mhache That did it!
Thanks!!
-
@McDing For some reason, I can't seem to find that 1st chart from FreshPorts you posted. What's the direct URL for that?
Thanks! -
