[killmasta93]

Hi Currently trying to update meshcentral on ubuntu 18.04 on node 8.1.0

when i try to update i keep getting 504 NGINX bad gateway

after a while it loads the login screen but does not update to the correct version

Thank you

I was able to solve the issue, if this happens do the following

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt -y install nodejs

then

npm install meshcentral

Out of curiosity i see that there are many updates that were implemented would i need to change differently my config?

You can run your config.json thru a JSON Lint tool to make it look nice, also because everything that starts with a _ is ignored, your config.json looks like this:

{
  "settings": {
    "Cert": "remote.domain.com",
    "trustedproxy": "CloudFlare",
    "MongoDb": "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/meshcentral",
    "WANonly": true,
    "Port": 4430,
    "RedirPort": 800,
    "AliasPort": 443,
    "MeshErrorLogPath": "/var/log/mesh.log",
    "NpmPath": "/usr/bin/node /usr/bin/npm",
    "TlsOffload": "127.0.0.1",
    "BrowserPong": 20,
    "AgentPong": 20
  },
  "domains": {
    "": {
      "Title": "mesh",
      "Title2": "central",
      "TitlePicture": "photo.png",
      "WelcomePicture": "photo.png",
      "CertUrl": "https://remote.domain.com:443/"
    },
    "info": {
      "share": "C:\\ExtraWebSite"
    }
  },
  "smtp": {
    "host": "mail.domain.com.co",
    "port": 465,
    "from": "noreply@domain.com.co",
    "user": "noreply",
    "pass": "thepass",
    "tls": true
  }
}

Your config.json looks good, I would not change anything, expect, are you really using the /info site that points to "C:\ExtraWebSite"? If not, remove that.
