update scripts don't work anymore

[IanDury]

I'm using v2026.3 (build 18263) on a Linux x86_64 target and when running the updatebeta script I get an error:

Code: Select all

# ./updatebeta 
2026-09-16 08:46:47.421 >> Downloading latest beta version...
2026-09-16 08:46:47.539 >> ERROR: Problem downloading new Domoticz version!!

The wget command appears to get a 403 response apparently because of Cloudflare being used on the download server and wget doesn't know how to handle this:

Code: Select all

wget -4 --show-progress -O "domoticz_beta.tgz" --no-check-certificate "https://www.domoticz.com/download.php?channel=beta&type=release&system=linux&machine=x86_64"

Using the same URL from a browser works fine.

Anyone who can fix this?

I don't know how to fix it, but have the same problem running updaterelease on V2026.2 to install 2026.3.

Same issue here. updaterelease and updatebeta don't work.
Can download domoticz via https://www.domoticz.com/downloads/ just fine on my pc.

Issue https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/7032 has been created.

This is because some little script kiddies are hammering our servers.
Sad... but for now, Cloudflare is to the rescue.

Domoticz in a docker container does not suffer from this
