Persistent install on 4.x OS

[surfingbytes]

Can we please have support for 4.x firmware? I mean, it works, but I have to reinstall it after every update. Is there a way to make it persistent across updates?

Upvoting, I just lost connectivity again and was wondering what happened. Btw, great software/project! Helps a lot!

Will take a look once I have some time to do so, in general adding support for persistent updates is a lot of work as you need to find ways to work around UniFi's updates wiping the system partition (which isn't always easy). It's on my list, but may take some time.

As this was my first time seeing this behavior after an update (my Dream Machine SE is brand spanking new), I feared that I need to do all the setup again, but fortunately it's just executing the curl command and running "tailscale up", all the settings seem to be persistent which is great!

I see you ask for posting this, so I am doing it :-) @notheotherben Nothink was wiped during the update yet, it did not start at boot

Hi @mastier, thanks for posting that - the latest release does include support for UniFi OS 4.x and if you were running an older release of this script then you would receive that error. Updating should take care of it for you.

Indeed. Thank you
