[⬅️ Go back to main README](../README.md)
> ℹ️ **Info**: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base
> installation. See [main README](../README.md) for details.
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;
