Manage system update
ℹ️ Info: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.
Description
In rare cases RouterOS fails to properly downlaod package on update
(/system/package/update/install), resulting in borked system with missing
packages. This script tries to avoid this situation by doing some basic
verification.
But it provides some extra functionality:
- upload backup to Mikrotik cloud if backup-cloud is installed
- send backup via e-mail if backup-email is installed
- save configuration to fallback partition if backup-partition is installed
- upload backup to server if backup-upload is installed
- schedule reboot at night
Requirements and installation
Just install the script:
$ScriptInstallUpdate packages-update;
It is automatically run by check-routeros-update if available.
Configuration
The configuration goes to global-config-overlay, this is the only parameter:
PackagesUpdateDeferReboot: defer the reboot for night (between 3 AM and 5 AM)
By modifying the scheduler's start-time you can force the reboot at
different time.
ℹ️ Info: Copy relevant configuration from
global-config(the one without-overlay) to your localglobal-config-overlayand modify it to your specific needs.
Usage and invocation
Alternatively run it manually:
/system/script/run packages-update;
