What do you do when you connect back & a bunch of your hosts (agents) are greyed out?
Wait till they check in.

:thumbs_up:

They have a check in cycle, it can take a little bit.

For those not aware, MeshCentral standard install now requires make.
So on Ubuntu ....
sudo apt-get install makeAnd on Fedora...
dnf install make -
-
MeshCentral should not require make. If it does, this is a bug. I don't want the MeshCentral server to depend on anything but node itself. If you get an error during install, please post it here or better yet on GitHub, I will work to fix it. MeshCentral should remain super easy to install.
In other news, back to requests and fixing bugs this week. Last two weeks saw lots of work on Intel AMT IDER, but finally back to more normal tasks.

It threw an error for me and couldn't NPM install 0.3.3-b for me without adding make.

Turn on automatic updates, silly person.

Nah... I just update when I hear about it here... That way if yours breaks I know to wait.

That's how people run into the "I came back and it wasn't working" problem.

Right, with fast updating Alpha (maybe beta) software, automatic updates are fucking stupid.

Y'all a bunch of scaredy (sp) cats, c'mon, don't be a party pooper, we got to live on the bleeding edge!! :face_with_tears_of_joy:
Turn on the auto updates... -
I switched my auto updates off, it's not too hard to click the update button in the GUI is it? lol..
-
Fedora auto updates = check
MeshCentral auto update = check
Automatic backup before MeshCentral auto update = ? -
Automatic backup is a good idea. If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to add them to the GitHub issues list. By the way, last batch of updates includes support for ARMv8 64bit, Web Notifications, some improvements to multi-display selection, working on better tracking of relay sessions. Plenty more bug fixes of course.
