/system/upgrade menu

Tue Jan 09, 2024 10:32 pm

I'm actually kind of confused what the
/system/upgrade

menu is actually for. In winbox the representative menu is called System/Auto-Upgrade.

I was always performing updates via the
/system/package
But what is this menu for?

I was already searching in the documentation and in the old wiki as well and did not find anything. There also seem to be some options to configure a mirror? (maybe other router to download update packages from?)

Can someone tell me sth. about that? And does anyone know why these features aren't documented? Or have I been just to dumb to find them?

Thank you for that nice description. In this menu there's also a mirror option, what does this mean?

And why is this nowhere documented by mikrotik?

I assume mirror is the ROS instance that hosts the update packages.

yes, local mirror, this is for people who have networks of mikrotik routers, but have no internet connection

I've tried this nicely explained example but i still cannot get it working. But on the host device I see that the client device logs in and tries to to sth.
