What's New
- PocketBook support — full detection and external storage installation (PR #11)
- Userspace networking auto-detection — scripts detect missing
/dev/net/tunand fall back automatically - SOCKS5 + HTTP CONNECT proxy — enabled by default so KOReader can reach tailnet devices in userspace mode
- FAT32 / read-only FS handling — tmpfs state directory, chmod detection, loopback setup for PocketBook
- Latest version fetching — install script fetches the latest Tailscale release, falls back to v1.96.2
- Architecture auto-detection —
uname -mat runtime instead of hardcoded values
Issues Resolved
- #9: TUN module missing on some Kindles — auto-fallback to userspace networking
- #8: Can't access tailnet devices — SOCKS5/HTTP proxy enabled by default
- #7: Kobo runs out of space — binaries install to plugin directory
- #6: Kobo Elipsa 2E can't install — likely fixed by space + arch improvements
Important
This release integrates all community-contributed code and addresses every open issue, but has not been tested on all physical devices beyond @spideraxal's PocketBook Verse Pro and Kindle PW5. Please report any issues.
