If CAPsMAN is running on a device with just 16MB flash downloading the packages is not possible (or at least lost at reboot). So allow a CAP to update with opt-in.

Notify on RouterOS update
🛈 This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.
Description
The primary use of this script is to notify about RouterOS updates.
Run from a terminal you can start the update process or schedule it.
Centrally managing update process of several devices is possibly by specifying versions safe to be updated on a web server.
Also installing patch updates (where just last digit is increased) automatically is supported.
Sample notification
Requirements and installation
Just install the script:
$ScriptInstallUpdate check-routeros-update;
And add a scheduler for automatic update notification:
/ system scheduler add interval=1d name=check-routeros-update on-event="/ system script run check-routeros-update;" start-time=startup;
Configuration
Configuration is required only if you want to control update process with
safe versions from a web server. The configuration goes to
global-config-overlay
, this is the parameter:
SafeUpdateNeighbor
: install updates automatically if seen in neighbor listSafeUpdateOnCap
: check for updates even if device is managed by CAPsMANSafeUpdatePatch
: install patch updates automaticallySafeUpdateUrl
: url to check for safe update, the channel (long-term
,stable
ortesting
) is appended
Usage and invocation
Be notified when run from scheduler or run it manually:
/ system script run check-routeros-update;
If an update is found you can install it right away.
Installing script packages-update gives extra options.
