Ubuntu server, no Docker, auto update possible?

[HubKing]

Almost all other applications are installed using the standard apt install method, and they can be automatically installed using Ubuntu's software update. Now, if I install Trilium with the Wiki section's "Packaged server/manual installation" method, is Trilium automatically updated? I kind of think it would not be.

What is the installation method for allowing automatic update? Do I have to use the Docker method for this?

Hi, there's no auto update. Docker is not auto updating either.

Any plan for supporting automatic updates in the foreseeable future?

You could possibly set up a bash script to download it and overwrite the old version, then start the new one. Then have systemd run the script every x hours/days.

curl -L $(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/zadam/trilium/releases/latest | jq .assets[1].browser_download_url | sed -r 's/"//g') --output "trilium.tar.gz"

This oneliner will download the latest trilium-linux-x64-server-$(V).tar.xz from the Releases tab. Finish the script to download it and extract (and overwrite) existing folder, then restart the server.

(You need to run sudo apt install jq curl sed before this script will work)
