Could anyone tell if it’s correct and also does this auto update even update the package automatically and restart the connection

It should be fine.

PS: I only recommend auto-update in your development environment. In production, you should only update after testing in your dev env. It is quite common to Cloudflare several patches in a short period of time (hours-days), following 2-3 weeks of no update.

The auto-update feature has some limitations to be aware of:

• it does not work in Windows
• it does not work if you run cloudflared as a one-off command in the shell; i.e., it only works when run as a service (e.g. systemd in Linux)
• it does not work if cloudflared is installed with a package manager (e.g. apt in Linux); in that case it must be updated with the said package manager

Each of these cases is warned by cloudflared in the logging with the corresponding messages: cloudflared/update.go at master · cloudflare/cloudflared · GitHub

It’s running as service and PKG

[cloudcreatr]

I have enabled cloudflared auto updating and still it’s not updating installed through PKG on Ubuntu it’s on 2021.12.3

[cscharff]

That would be expected no?

• it does not work if cloudflared is installed with a package manager (e.g. apt in Linux); in that case it must be updated with the said package manager

[cloudcreatr]

@cscharff I used this cmd

echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloudflare-main.gpg] https://pkg.cloudflare.com/ focal main' |
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudflare-main.list

Then sudo apt-get update

Then sudo apt get install cloudflared

Well that’s how I installed, will it not work?

[cscharff]

Correct

[cloudcreatr]

But why is that not working, any way to see if auto update is enabled

[cscharff]

As @nuno.diegues stated, when deployed via a package manager it needs to be updated the same way.

[cloudcreatr]

Can you tell me the right way to install so that it automatically update

[sdayman]

This is what I did:

   79  wget https://bin.equinox.io/c/VdrWdbjqyF/cloudflared-stable-linux-amd64.deb
   80  apt install ./cloudflared-stable-linux-amd64.deb

[cloudcreatr]

@sdayman will it autoupdate? I thought installation of cloudflared from PKG or repo of cloudflare will autoupdate my bad

[sdayman]

It updates, but for the reasons @adaptive stated, I don’t autoupdate. Manual only. I could easily “autoupdate” with a cron to update and restart service.

[cloudcreatr]

@sdayman

Used your command but still

[sdayman]

@cloudcreatr

Used your command

Which command? My wget and apt install? After you removed the old cloudflared package?

[cloudcreatr]

sudo wget https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i ./cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb.1

🤷🤷 @sdayman

[sdayman]

It looks like you didn’t do this:

@sdayman

After you removed the old cloudflared package?
