@tremor021 how do we update WGdashboard on an existing container?

It's an optional install when you first create the LXC, but it looks like the update script doesn't offer to update WGdashbaord - just wireguard. Thanks in advance!

[tremor021]

if [[ ! -d /etc/wgdashboard ]]; then
    sleep 2
    cd /etc/wgdashboard/src
    ./wgd.sh update
    ./wgd.sh start
  fi

It updates automatically if installed

[samwathegreat]

if [[ ! -d /etc/wgdashboard ]]; then
sleep 2
cd /etc/wgdashboard/src
./wgd.sh update
./wgd.sh start
fi
It updates automatically if installed

Is it installing from a repository or building from github? Because it's very out of date, and I just updated using the script.

[tremor021]

Its installed from the github repo

fetch_and_deploy_gh_release "wgdashboard" "donaldzou/WGDashboard" "tarball" "latest" "/etc/wgdashboard"

It doesn't work for some reason. It's not even trying to update wgdashboard, which is clearly installed.

I ran the code manually and it worked - but only after a reboot. After running ./wgd.sh start, it created a loop where you couldn't log in. Rebooting the container seems to have resolved the issue and it now reports v4.2.5.

But I don't get why the script didn't do it automatically.

its their official update instruction. i really don't know what else i can do here https://docs.wgdashboard.dev/update.html

What I'm saying is that the script logic doesn't appear to be working. As in it doesn't detect the existing wgdashboard install and even try to run the command: ./wgd.sh update

The command WORKED when I manually ran it. But the script didn't even try to run it. That's the point.

[tremor021]

Ah yes, you are right, there is a typo in the script, a stupid one too.

[samwathegreat]

Great! Let me know when it's fixed and I'll test.

Just curious if the script is fixed yet. TIA
