||
Description
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
The primary use of this script is to notify about RouterOS updates.
|
||
|
||
Run from a terminal you can start the update process or schedule it.
|
||
|
||
Centrally managing update process of several devices is possibly by
|
||
specifying versions safe to be updated on a web server. Versions seen
|
||
in neighbor discovery can be specified to be safe as well.
|
||
|
||
Also installing patch updates (where just last digit is increased)
|
||
automatically is supported.
|
||
|
||
> ⚠️ **Warning**: Installing updates is important from a security point
|
||
> of view. At the same time it can be source of serve breakage. So test
|
||
> versions in lab and read
|
||
> [changelog](https://mikrotik.com/download/changelogs/) and
|
||
> [forum](https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewforum.php?f=21) before deploying
|
||
> to your production environment! Automatic updates should be handled
|
||
> with care!
|
||
|
||
### Sample notification
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Requirements and installation
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
|
||
Just install the script:
|
||
|
||
$ScriptInstallUpdate check-routeros-update;
|
||
|
||
And add a scheduler for automatic update notification:
|
||
|
||
/system/scheduler/add interval=1d name=check-routeros-update on-event="/system/script/run check-routeros-update;" start-time=startup;
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
No extra configuration is required to receive notifications. Several
|
||
mechanisms are availalbe to enable automatic installation of updates.
|
||
The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, these are the parameters:
|
||
|
||
* `SafeUpdateNeighbor`: install updates automatically if at least one other
|
||
device is seen in neighbor list with new version
|
||
* `SafeUpdateNeighborIdentity`: regular expression to match identity for
|
||
trusted devices, leave empty to match all
|
||
* `SafeUpdatePatch`: install patch updates (where just last digit changes)
|
||
automatically
|
||
* `SafeUpdateUrl`: url on webserver to check for safe update, the channel
|
||
(`long-term`, `stable` or `testing`) is appended
|
||
* `SafeUpdateAll`: install **all** updates automatically
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ **Info**: Copy relevant configuration from
|
||
> [`global-config`](../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to
|
||
> your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs.
|
||
|
||
Also notification settings are required for
|
||
[e-mail](mod/notification-email.md),
|
||
[matrix](mod/notification-matrix.md),
|
||
[ntfy](mod/notification-ntfy.md) and/or
|
||
[telegram](mod/notification-telegram.md).
|
||
|
||
Usage and invocation
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
Be notified when run from scheduler or run it manually:
|
||
|
||
/system/script/run check-routeros-update;
|
||
|
||
If an update is found you can install it right away.
|
||
|
||
Installing script [packages-update](packages-update.md) gives extra options.
|
||
|
||
Tips & Tricks
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
The script checks for full connectivity before acting, so scheduling at
|
||
startup is perfectly valid:
|
||
|
||
/system/scheduler/add name=check-routeros-update@startup on-event="/system/script/run check-routeros-update;" start-time=startup;
|
||
