Is there a way to have to automatically update when I restart it? Or do I have to npm install it every time?

The config.json file has an auto-update setting that can be enabled.

Thanks. I found it.
I think I may just move this out to my cloud server and see how it plays out.

And now on 0.2.5-y

Missed a few updates, on 0.2.6-c now!!

Just posted a blog on latest MeshCentral news. One thing I wanted to do for a while now is document the internals of MeshCentral. You may need for technical competence, but the first version of the document is here. - Enjoy.
-
@scottalanmiller I think you will notice the much faster start time of the agents on smaller devices.

Awesome. feel free to post here, too. Just use the "Self Promotion" group. Lots of traffic and visibility here.

@Ylian : are there any plans at this time to allow one-time "support sessions" instead of "access sessions". Used for IT support of computers that a) don't have an access session already configured b) users (rightfully) don't have administrator access? (e.g. ScreenConnect)

@Ylian Thanks for writing that up, I enjoyed reading it.

That's been there, we've been using it for a while. Using the same "agent", but without installation.

@scottalanmiller : Oh, good. I asked you personally about it in the other thread a couple of weeks ago and you had stated "no" iirc.
Do you still need 2 files for this? Executable and manifest or can they be combined into the exe?
Thanks!

You only need one file in either case, it is just the exe.

@scottalanmiller : Awesome. Their instructions and the youtube videos show two files needed for client installation.
