Updating NetBird #1105

Closed Aqua1ung closed 10 months ago

Aqua1ung commented 1 year ago

How does one update NetBird when it's been installed "using binary files"?

Aqua1ung commented 1 year ago

The dev team will update the installation script to handle updates for installations using binary files.

The 0.23.6 debacle has been fixed. Nevertheless, it appears that one needs to manually quit netbird-ui before updating netbird using the curl -fsSL https://pkgs.netbird.io/install.sh | sh -s -- --update command, otherwise netbird-ui will not be updated.
