Auto-update Fix - v0.107.15

[privacy-advo]

(Update by @ainar-g for those encountering this issue.)

A workaround to update v0.107.14 to v0.107.15 without a manual update is to use the command:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -v 'http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@127.0.0.1/control/update'

where LOGIN and PASSWORD are your web interface login data and 127.0.0.1 is the address of AdGuard Home's web UI.

See #4989.

It fails because of the bug (#4970) it's fixing.

@sausje, please refrain from using inflammatory language like that, especially if it's off-topic to the issue at hand. You can request documentation improvements by opening new issues instead.

@ainar-g How do I use the command if my pwd contains the symbol @. I tried ' and " with the pwd but couldn't get it to work. Do I have to change it first? thanks.

Hi @privacy-advo , I meet same error on openwrt. Is there only one way (manual update) to solve this problem? Can I wait for the next version to auto-update? I am a newer to Linux.

You can try \@ or \\@

Bottom line, you have to escape the @ in your PW, and I can never remember how many \ that needs in an URL string or if that is even possible.

Another try would be something like this:

MY_PASSWORD="your_pw_here" curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -v 'http://LOGIN:${MY_PASSWORD}@127.0.0.1/control/update'

Pretty much stuffing your password into a variable (MY_PASSWORD) and using the variable in the command.

The Curl command not working for me.

• Trying 127.0.0.1:80...
• connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80 failed: Connection refused
• Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80: Connection refused
• Closing connection 0
  curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 80: Connection refused

Could not get curl command to work for me. Maybe cause password is complex with special characters (as it should be). I tried the manual method officially posted and that new AGH executable failed to start. I noticed a agh-backup folder and instead replaced the 0.107.14 executable with the backup (that was 0.107.13) and that started up fine, and its auto update worked fine to get to 0.107.15.

If the password is (too) complex, this command will do the trick:
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -v -u USER 'http://HOST:PORT/control/update

Replace USER, HOST and PORT to match your setup. curl will ask for the password interactively.

It is also worth mentioning that the command can be run remotely, it is not restricted to the actual machine running AdGuard Home.
