TAILMON TAILMON v1.3.2 [2026-Apr-16] - WireGuard-based Tailscale Installer, Configurator and Monitor (Available in AMTM!)

[Viktor Jaep]

Thanks for the clarification. I believe knock.sh still falls into that category!

Then you may need to worry! LOL

Minor updates going out for TAILMON today, and helping address the recent issues with Screen, paths and adding my 3rd release for the AMTM autoupdate feature to this script as well! @thelonelycoder More to come! Enjoy!

What's new!?
TAILMON v1.3.2 - (April 16, 2026)
- MINOR: Diving into why the new version of SCREEN (v5.0.1) didn't want to start from a script in the post-mount, found that some SCREEN environment variables weren't being set. Thanks to some input from @Martinski, these variables can be included in the script, instead of adding these to the top of the post-mount.
- PATCH: Added "unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH" statement due to the latest Entware binaries using the RUNPATH embedded library search path mechanism instead of the previous RPATH method. RUNPATH is searched *AFTER* the LD_LIBRARY_PATH definitions, whereas RPATH has higher priority than the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, so it's searched FIRST. Thanks to @Martinski for his advice.
- PATCH: Made TAILMON compliant with the amtmupdate functionality to allow for autoupdates through AMTM.

Too many scripts.

Not enough Viktors.

Ha! I forgot to tell you. I'm working on CLONEMON to help with that problem.

Hi Viktor,

Not calling into question your infallible scripts but I am questioning my sanity.
The new-fangled amtm au has me baffled, at least for Tailmon.

• It says it’s enabled but didn’t update with u.. Sorry this is incorrect, TM was not enabled yet.
• So I thought aha like @ExtremeFiretop MerlinAU I need to disable updates in TM (at least the script), option 1.
• So I did so for 1 only, but that still didn’t au Tailmon in amtm.
• Do I need to disable BOTH updates in Tailmon and will au in amtm update both the script and the binary?
• Can the binary be left as a cron, separately?

Let me check into this more. It doesn't matter what you enable or disable within the script. AMTM will override whatever you pick.

 

[dave14305]

It says it’s enabled but didn’t update with u.

Maybe it’s only supported once 1.3.2 is installed.

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Maybe it’s only supported once 1.3.2 is installed.

That's probably it... this is the first release that has the code in it that AMTM would need to use to update the script. I'm still surprised it shows as enabled, unless it actually checks the online version first to see if it's activated? Nevermind... I didn't see it in your list in AMTM. So yeah, this needs to be upgraded to 1.3.2 first, and then from that point forward it would show up in the autoupdate list in AMTM.

OK ... but in amtm for TM 1.3.1 it did say supported scripts and current status.. enabled.
Anyway I will update and see what happens next time.

[EDIT] btw what happens with the binary, also updated in amtm? and do I disable the cron in TM for this to work in amtm?
[EDIT] Doh; It doesn't say Tailmon... I am going quietly nuts. Sorry.

There it is ... not a fan of the small 't' though, doesn't match.

I have a feeling that AMTM might be changing the case of TAILMON to tailmon, is my guess? I'm not sure where it might be pulling that from without trying to dig through some code.

Sorry, was a post edit. Does the binary get updated at the same time as the script with the au enabled option?

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Sorry, was a post edit. Does the binary get updated at the same time as the script with the au enabled option?

Sorry... nope. TAILMON is still in charge of updating Tailscale binaries. AMTM just handles the TAILMON script itself.

That's fine, NP at all, really just wanted to know what to enable to disable in the WITHIN TM C, 7, 7 options.

You too chicken to run DOUBLE updates!?? LOL!!

Nah, but for @ExtremeFiretop in MerlinAU it's an either / or... so I thought I'd stick with the same logic...

I recommend the exact opposite of whatever @ExtremeFiretop says by default.

His script may have issues if AMTM updates it since it handles some really important functionality (I think he explained it in detail somewhere), which definitely is not the issue with TAILMON. In fact, it doesn't hurt to leave it on. It just becomes the battle of cron jobs, whichever one gets to it first.

OK, cool, thanks for looking at it all the same.

 

[ExtremeFiretop]

So... basically I’m the control group.
Glad to know I’m your benchmark.
