Automatic gateway update

[arjanvanb (Arjan)]

On the other hand: how would one be notified on a pending update, when automatic update is not enabled?

We’ve seen an update for the security certificates in the past, being quite essential:

I got a new version 1.0.6 pushed on May 17th, which apparently might be needed if TTN updates the server certificate some day after July 2019:

With this patch we add the ISRG Root X1 CA to the gateway firmware. After 8 July 2019, many servers that use Let’s Encrypt will start serving a certificate chain which leads to this new root, and therefore it must be trusted by clients such as the gateway.

So, for those not having automatic updates enabled: you’d better do so, I’d assume.

(The current Amazon root embedded in the Kickstarter gateway is valid until 31 December 2037. The ISRG root until 4 June 2035. And the DST root is due first, on 30 September 2021. I’ve no idea if all these are used, but that’s irrelevant if the certificate chain for the server changes to use a different root.)
