we just released Turris OS 7.1.4 into hbt! Main feature is updated openssh due to some security issues, but we also added new dnssec root key to be ready for a rollover that will happen later this year and we did some minor polishing of some Foris components. Full changelog is as follows:
Updates
• openssh: Update to version 9.9p2 (fixes CVE-2025-26465 and CVE-2025-26466)
• dnssec-rootkey: Add new rootkey to prepare for rollover
New Features
• foris-controller-librespeed: Allow to use fixed server by settings in uci
• foris-controller: disable zeroconf via uci option
Bug Fixes
• reforis-plugin-gsm: actually install it when modem is detected
As always, if you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to let us know. And regarding the new big release, yes Victor, we are still working on it
Initially, I typed that it was 130 days from the previous HBT release. But that wasn’t true. My Omnia had 130 days uptime, but that was because a few last releases did not require reboot
Nice high uptime Anyhow, I’ve somewhere read or been told that it’s adviceable to reboot Linux machines once upon time, say once in month, to claim used system resources…
As day-time sysadmin I find that simply bull-shit. If everything is configured properly high uptime is something to be proud of. Unless you consider saving resources when the machine is actually off when not needed.
Even for large scale stuff with HA you would prefer lets say reboots of clustered nodes one at the time to provide continous service without down times. As for beefy home routers its just “no internet” for 1-2 mins that people may live with.
Theoretically yes. But… e.g. Knot Resolver does get some reports of “memory leaks”, sometimes just via fragmentation because of OS malloc not being smart enough, sometimes probably even genuine lost memory.
7.1.3→ 7.1.4 RC1 update okay except the librespeed issue reported earlier. No noticeable cable/wifi/internet interruption. Restart was not needed.
Turris Omnia 2017, 1 GB RAM, dead eMMC, system running from mSATA SSD, original wifi cards, UBoot 2022.10. Storage plugin enabled, LXC containers, tor relay, USB HDD shared over samba4 and minidlna, Syncthing, SQM, Hardwario gateway + MQTT IoT bridge, OpenVPN, PPtP VPN, Strongswan IKEv2 VPN, morce.
we just released another RC, fixing overwrite of LibreSpeed configuration file and in the meantime we discovered another bug that we fixed - namely that reForis GSM plugin wasn’t installed by default when LTE modem was detected.
