How to update to the latest Tailscale version?

@cwagz

Are there any downsides to upgrading the tailscale package this way? 

None that I have experienced so far.

Would I be able to go back to the official package at some point?

Yes you can uninstall the manual update and the official release from the package manager. Then just reinstall the official release again from the package manager.

@smurph82 Thanks for that, only just had time to revisit this, that seems to work great. Also seems to advertise the routes OK with the latest headscale docker based server so all is good.

I did try using the command via the GUI first but the hit Y stopped play, console shell worked though. Must look for the -y flag option when I remember :-)

I also had to use the -f flag to force the install as without that it told me the latest was already installed (1.54)

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.80.0_1.pkg

Thats what got it over the line

Thanks again

For some reason the developer pulled the amd64 1.82.0 release for FreeBSD 14. I haven't noticed any issues.

I need the package too for my pfsense but it's gone

[elvisimprsntr]

1.82.4 was released today.

Changelog

And there is a pending FreeBSD 1.82.0_1. It will take awhile for the developer to catch up.

Is there some other place to get this package? Or can someone provide it?

[elvisimprsntr]

@ha100

Sent DM with link

I have not tested this.

Copy the files to pfsense /var/cache/pkg/

then:

pkg install <filename>

@elvisimprsntr do you mind sending it to mes too?

[ha100]

@elvisimprsntr Got it, thanks a lot
