How to update to the latest Tailscale version?

[ericreiss]

@elvisimprsntr Still no guts and therefore no glory.

Eventually I will give it a try.

Unfortunately, the previous Issue 15281 was just closed as resolved for pfSense+

Opened new Issue 15619 for CE

[elvisimprsntr]

Just upgraded CE 2.7.2 to 1.70.0. Now all my clients are on same version.

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.70.0.pkg

tailscale version
1.70.0
  go version: go1.22.5

[elvisimprsntr]

Upgraded 2.7.2 CE to 1.72.0

https://www.freshports.org/security/tailscale

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.72.0.pkg

tailscale version
1.72.0
  go version: go1.22.5

@elvisimprsntr Interesting it's marked for quarterly now. I have updated too. No issues so far... except hanging on reboot which I discovered a few package versions ago and I don't know which one it started to break on

Would be good if the repo still kept earlier versions. e.g. 1.68

@chickendog

It usually takes a few days to recompile for all platforms/distros.

There is a 1.72.1 already with a bug fix.

@elvisimprsntr 1.72.1 is a linux only release.
Anyway I am saying it would be good if we could have access to older versions if we needed. pkg.freebsd.org seems to remove the old packages.
e.g. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.68.1.pkg is dead

@chickendog

If you want to save a local copy so you can roll back, manually download the packages.

wget https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.72.1.pkg

Yes the tailscale version command doesn’t properly parse the “_”. My bug report was rejected

What are release notes for 1.74.1_1 anyway? I see Tailscale just updated to 1.76 https://tailscale.com/changelog

Simply reinstall the package over the gui doesn't work?

[elvisimprsntr]

@slu

No, because the official pfSense tailscale package is still 1.54.0

If you manually update, the new package version will only appear on the tailscale status page.
