The auto-update flow stops the Pulse service before applying updates.
If the update fails, the rollback path restored files but never
restarted the service. Since the main unit was explicitly stopped
(not crashed), systemd's Restart=always didn't rescue it.
Add restart-on-failure guards to both pulse-auto-update.sh and
install.sh so Pulse is always restarted after a failed update attempt.
Add singleton watchdog with lock dir, pidfile tracking, and signal
traps to prevent multiple pulse-agent instances spawning on QNAP.
Tighten procfs matching to avoid killing unrelated processes.
Add stop_qnap_agents() helper that kills wrapper scripts before binaries
to prevent watchdog respawn, and uses path-based pkill patterns that work
with BusyBox and match agents at both old and new install paths.
- Split configuration table into "Installer flags" and "Agent-only flags"
so users know which flags work with `curl | bash` vs the binary directly
- Add missing --cacert and --env flags to installer docs
- Fix --disable-auto-update example (install script doesn't accept it;
use --env PULSE_DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE=true instead)
- Add --disable-docker/kubernetes/proxmox and --proxmox-type to
install.sh show_help()
- Fix --enable-docker=false in CENTRALIZED_MANAGEMENT.md
On QNAP, /usr/local/bin is a tiny RAM disk. The installer was downloading
the binary then mv'ing it there, which failed when the RAM disk was full.
The QNAP-specific logic that copies to the persistent data volume only
ran after that mv.
Move QNAP detection before the download step so INSTALL_DIR points to the
persistent data volume (e.g. /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.pulse-agent) directly.
The wrapper script still attempts to copy to /usr/local/bin at boot but
falls back to running from persistent storage if that fails.
Also fixes:
- pkill -f pattern in wrapper could match and kill the wrapper itself
(path contains "pulse-agent"); switched to pkill -x for exact match
- Upgrade detection now checks /usr/local/bin for legacy QNAP installs
- Uninstall cleans up /usr/local/bin runtime copy
