Another installation source for qnap users #137

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

Maintain a third-party application repository on pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#qpkgs
Collaboration with existing reputable third-party repository（myqnap.org has maintained a third-party branch ）

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.

Happy to find these are now up to date at https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#qpkgs

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

bradfitz commented 3 months ago

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:

work with QNAP to let us update more often (unlikely, but we should try)
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)
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in the readme - I did not know about it until digging through for the most up-to-date qpkg, since github releases are outdated.
