I used this script in LXC, but it comes with another error.
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/misc/update-repo.sh)"

That error message in the original screenshot looks like the repo is pointing at the old Tteck script.

You need to run this in your Proxmox shell to re-point it to the community scripts:
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/misc/update-repo.sh)"

I think it's the same thing I "fought" with, so it´s an "solved" issue

Sorry, but i have tried that already. Not working.
After update, Omada starts then it crash.

1. bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/misc/update-repo.sh)"
2. sed -i 's/tteck/Proxmox/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/g' /usr/bin/update

Why you kill the Update with Ctrl c?

[psychedelicu]

Because it doesnt do anything for hours. And also, instead of upgrading, omada is downgrading.

In omada i can see the 5.15.6.7 is the latest.
And currently, downgrading from 5.14.32.3 to 5.14.26.1.

The script is not working.

I am seeing the exact same thing in my instance as well. I used ttecks script and I was on the latest version before he passed. I have no idea how I got version 5.14.32.2. because the latest version on tplink download site is v5.14.26.1
I even tried using a new lXC and use the community script but when I reached the step of restoring the settings, omada complained the the version of the backup is higher than that of the software from the community script. (which is 5.14.26.1)

I made sure to update the repos to point the community repos instead of ttecks

I managed to update it via:

cd /tmp
wget https://download.tplinkcloud.com/firmware/omada_v5.15.6.7_linux_x64_20241128140044_1733188152890.deb
dpkg -i omada_v5.15.6.7_linux_x64_20241128140044_1733188152890.deb

The UI is different now.,

[tismofied]

Thank you so much for including your steps for upgrade. You saved me a day's worth of headache lol.
Yeah They updated their UI few days ago I noticed the same in the app as well.

so for the script, do I just wait until it gets updated to 5.15.6.x before using it again?

I have no idea about the script. For me, is not working.

Same for me after using update this will downgrade and wont start anymore.

[bahaman1971]

The actual Script has a Version "Error" , See #1113

[MickLesk]

To be honest, I'm thinking about removing omada completely. They change their deb package names every time. Just like the repolinks. This is not only exhausting but also shitty for everyone

[psychedelicu]

Me too. Also, too many bugs and crashes. I'll try OPNsense soon.
