Another installation source for qnap users

Open PowerfulRichard opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Since the qnap app store is slow to review updates, I'm wondering if there are more ways to provide qpkg package

I think the existing manual update method needs to be improved

  • github release is out of sync with the pkgs.tailscale.com release
  • People are confused which variants to choose #88 #119 #122
  • Updating the application by manually uploading QPKG package is very inefficient.

@delaveganz any idea if those new packages auto-update?

I don't think they do. But @awly would know.

QNAP clients know how to auto-update, but only using the QNAP app store.

IMO, our options to improve QNAP updates, in decreasing order of preference, are:

  1. work with QNAP to let us update more often (unlikely, but we should try)
  2. set up a 3rd-party QNAP app repository on pkgs.tailscale.com, but only if we can preserve signature validation in the app store (these instructions require disabling signature validation entirely)
  3. reimplement auto-update / tailscale update support for QNAP to fetch our packages from pkgs.tailscale.com and install them on top of the app store version

In the meantime, this pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#qpkgs source for tailscale qnap releases should be written in the readme - I did not know about it until digging through for the most up-to-date qpkg, since github releases are outdated.

Too bad this is not the case anymore... https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg/issues/144

As it seems QNAP is very slow updating the packages in store it'd be great if third party repo was established to streamline the process.
