Describe the problem

Our CI fails because the install.sh script sometimes failes to parse the latest version and returns mentions_count instead

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • run this in CI
    curl -fsSL https://pkgs.netbird.io/install.sh | sh
    about 1 in 5 times the url it is trying to install is
NetBird UI installation will be omitted as Linux does not run desktop environment
The installation will be performed using binary files
Installing netbird from https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/download/mentions_count/netbird_mentions_count_linux_amd64.tar.gz

instead of

Run curl -fsSL https://pkgs.netbird.io/install.sh | sh
NetBird UI installation will be omitted as Linux does not run desktop environment
The installation will be performed using binary files
Installing netbird from https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/download/v0.59.5/netbird_0.59.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz

the error seems to stem from this function in the install.sh script

get_release() {
    local RELEASE=$1
    if [ "$RELEASE" = "latest" ]; then
        local TAG="latest"
        local URL="https://pkgs.netbird.io/releases/latest"
    else
        local TAG="tags/${RELEASE}"
        local URL="https://api.github.com/repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/releases/${TAG}"
    fi
    if [ -n "$GITHUB_TOKEN" ]; then
          curl -H  "Authorization: token ${GITHUB_TOKEN}" -s "${URL}" \
              | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/'
    else
          curl -s "${URL}" \
              | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/'
    fi
}

Expected behavior

install netbird always

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

We are self hosting but this should not matter

NetBird version

all versions

Is any other VPN software installed?

Debug output

To help us resolve the problem, please attach the following anonymized status output

netbird status -dA

Create and upload a debug bundle, and share the returned file key:

netbird debug for 1m -AS -U

Uploaded files are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Alternatively, create the file only and attach it here manually:

netbird debug for 1m -AS

How can it be that this is just ignored?

I posted about this on your slack two weeks ago and also was just ignored.

Hey folks, the issue happened because sometimes we were getting a 304 from upstream as our PKG services were trying their best to cache things. We've added a handler for that, and we should see an improvement in stability. I suggest we keep this one open for a week and see if it happens again.

Hey, it seemed to be much more stable since yesterday but just 2 minutes ago it failed our latest production release. So the error does not seem to be fixed entirely. Please investigate the problem further. If I can provide you with any additonal info I would be happy to help get this fixed.
