QNAP Update

Post by Rumtum »

Is it possible to update the mylar3 version when it is running on a QNAP NAS?

The option to check for a new version works and reports - A newer version is available. You're 132 commits behind. Update or Close

However, when the update runs, nothing changes and I remain 132 commits behind (on Version: v0.4.9 (master)).

Thanks in advance

We have no control over the updates on QNAP. It sounds like you might need to get in touch with the maintainer of that package to get them to update it. It looks like the base install is locked at 0.4.9.

If one can normally update via the built-in updater, than I'm assuming it's using git. If you can issue git commands directly on the repo, you would need to do the following 2 commands from the command line within the mylar directory :

Code: Select all

git reset --hard origin/master 
giit pull
This is s because we had some problematic merges around that point which caused us to do an update directly to the master branch forcibly. You're locked in on the problematic version on startup so it won't be able to update automatically. So you have to tell your local install of Mylar that the local version is in fact the same as one on github via those commands.

After issuing those 2 commands you should be up to date with Mylar when you start it up again.
