Anything applied on the outside is likely to come adrift given the wear and movement in a tyre tread.
I'd probably plan to swap it to the spare in due course, having it taken off the wheel and checked inside at the same time.

Patches are the norm and easiest repair as all that needs to be done is a quick buff up on the inside, a bit of glue and the patch stuck on and should then be "stitched" to make sure all the air is out of the patch.

Off road it's also possible to repair puncture from the outside, string insert.
