Mikrotik routeros firmware layout upgrade#

I believe that using/having an automatic upgrade capability is a better option than leaving a number of systems out in the wild not being upgraded and patched. I understand the it involves somebody to manually step in at that point.

the update based on the specific use case for that router in it's environment. We could make a decision to either manually stop, pause, allow, etc. If something went terribly wrong in an update, I believe it would be exposed on the forum and elsewhere in short order. I personally like the simplicity and thoughtful design of beeyev's script. While maintaining a webserver is good idea - I don't want another "thing" to manage. I think we need to have a variable that delays the installation of a new version (once discovered) by some time, 7 days for example. I agree bugs can be introduced in new versions. Hi Jotne - I am not the author of this well done script, but my comments a few posts above are similar to yours. With this type of approach you could the the router to downgrade if needed. One stteing for what type of Router to upgrade. One setting to tell what version to upgrade to. You could have one setting to allow/prevent upgrade. Then depending on the information there, control what the upgrade should do. Its easy to make a script read an external webserver. So a delay is minimum thing that should be in the script.īut If I had lots of routers and lots of time, I would have setup a web page there I could control the scrip remote. There has over the last years been several times bug has been introduced or change to some like Wifi that made the router stopped working. I realize this may not be perfect and some issues that may have not been discovered in the 7 day example window could still persist, but should catch most.Īuto upgrade MT routers may fail. If reports are good then let it update as scheduled. This would give a little buffer for us to do our due diligence and intervene if necessary. We could intervene if necessary and stop the update, delay it, etc. That would give us time to evaluate new updates. This could be done by creating schedule/script for that future time or perhaps disables the process on a timer?Ĥ - Execute the upgrade after the delay expires or date is reached and send emails Could we "pause or delay" an update from installing from a time perspective?ġ - Execute the check for new update for whatever channel you are on - as it does today.Ģ - Add a variable that delays the actual update by some number of days - say 7 for example. Hence - a possible enhancement that gets us some of the way there. I have been doing this long enough to have lived through updates the break things, so I am hesitant to go all in. At the very least, the task it is laborious and something to keep getting put off and off. In my experience it is easy to "plan and talk" talk about upgrading existing routers but another to actually do it. The issue for me comes down the risks of auto update VS un-patched and updated systems in the wild.

I would like to offer a request for future enhancement. I have been testing it was great (perfect) success. Hi - Thank you for all your great work on this! Here is a script and installation manual. The first one contains system backups of the previous RouterOS version, the second message will be sent when the upgrade process is done. Using email account as storage for your backups.īackups and notifications about new RouterOS release - Except backups, script also checks for new RouterOS firmware release and provides this information in the email.īackups and automatic RouterOS upgrade - Script makes a backup, then checks for new RouterOS version, and if new firmware released, script will initiate upgrade process.

For safety purposes, an automatic update process will not be started if script could not send backups to email.So you can easily find the backup you need among multiple devices. Script includes primary information about the device into the email message.
