Upgrade nextdns cli

I was able to install (with the default install script) and activate nextdns, it’s doing its job. However, I can’t upgrade it to its latest version. nextsdns internal upgrade is able to download the latest build, but I can’t install it. I’m sure I’m missing something. Thanks for any pointers to remedy this.

Error: Exit Status 1

I’m not sure how you were able to install NextDNS using the install script that they provide. I tried it myself and they seem to try to use yum, which doesn’t work in Fedora Atomic desktops.

I got the following error trying sh -c "$(curl -sL https://nextdns.io/install)":

Transaction failed: Rpm transaction failed.
  - installing package nextdns-1.44.6-1.x86_64 needs 8MB more space on the /usr filesystem

I’ve used NextDNS in the past and it worked fine just layering it with rpm-ostree. Try the following:

sudo curl -Ls https://repo.nextdns.io/nextdns.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/nextdns.repo
rpm-ostree install nextdns

FYI, if you use tailscale, you can add your nextdns config to it and have it work through that, as a bonus it’ll use your tailscale device name to identiy each device in the nextdns dashboard as well!

I don’t remember how I succeeded; I tried all possible ways and one went through. I’ll check this. Thanks

Hmm, I will need to think about that—I’m not using Tailscale atm. NextDNS would identify the device name if setup accordingly.
