Describe the problem

Hello,

I'm running Netbird 0.60.0 on Ubuntu and have spotted an "auto apply route" option in the documentation on creating an exit node - here - which doesn't seem to be present on my system.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a peer
  2. Click "Add exit node"
  3. Under "additional settings", note that no checkbox to "auto apply route" is shown

Could this be because the version of my software somewhere is out of date, or perhaps a configuration issue?

Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Alex

@alexharries It's not in the peers, it's in the Network Routes section. Specifically on any Exit Nodes configured in there, or on any new ones you configure in there.

Hi @ressys1978, unfortunately it's not there - this is a screenshot of the settings tab when I go to Network Routes > Exit node > Edit:

@alexharries The dashboard also needs to be on v0.55.0 or higher. I know you say you're on v0.60.0, but that dashboard definitely is not at that version as right above "Peers" on the left there should be "Control Center".

Ahh, thank you @ressys1978 - could you advise how I can update the dashboard, please?

I've searched extensively and can't locate an upgrade/update command which does it.

I've tried apt-get install netbird --only-upgrade, apt-get install netbird-ui --only-upgrade, and apt-get update, but none of these have made any difference.

Thank you :)

@alexharries on the host where you have the dashboard installed run this where your docker-compose.yml is located

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d --force-recreate

Make sure you do a backup first.
