update-all

Automate system and developer tool updates on Linux with a single command. This repo is a set of small Bash updaters orchestrated by update-all.sh. Each updater runs only if its tool is present; many actions use sudo and are non-interactive.

Quick start

# Clone and run
chmod +x *.sh
./update-all.sh

# Run a single updater (examples)
./update-apt.sh
./update-conda.sh
./update-rust.sh

What it does

update-all.sh runs a curated sequence of updaters. Highlights:

• OS packages (APT)
  • update-apt.sh: apt update/upgrade/autoremove. Auto-detects and toggles an apt proxy (Acquire::http::Proxy) and flips http/https in third-party lists accordingly.
• Snap packages
  • update-snap.sh: snap refresh; prunes disabled revisions; temporarily unmasks api.snapcraft.io in /etc/hosts if needed, if user had disabled (it to prevent snapd from accessing the internet).
• Python ecosystems
  • update-pipx.sh: pipx upgrade-all.
  • update-pip.sh: upgrades pip; can auto-configure a devpi client if detected in ~/.pip/pip.conf.
  • update-conda.sh: updates conda/conda-build and then updates all conda environments; conda clean --all.
  • update-poetry.sh: poetry self update.
• R and RStudio
  • update-R.sh: updates user R packages; checks and updates RStudio Desktop and Server .deb packages for Ubuntu Jammy (uses curl/dpkg).
• JavaScript/Node
  • update-npm.sh: npm -g update (global packages).
• Rust
  • update-rust.sh: rustup update; cargo install cargo-update; cargo install-update -a.
• Go
  • update-go.sh: detects latest Go release; downloads and installs it under ~/apps; relinks ~/apps/go; runs go-global-update to refresh installed tools.
• Julia
  • update-julia.sh: installs juliaup via cargo if available; juliaup update; Pkg.update() for default env.
• Desktop apps & tools
  • update-waterfox.sh: checks latest Waterfox release from GitHub, downloads, unpacks to /opt/waterfox (uses dtrx), and installs a .desktop entry if missing.
  • update-calibre.sh: updates Calibre via official installer.
  • update-youtube-dl.sh: self-update if installed under /usr/local/bin.
  • update-texlive.sh: tlmgr update --self/--all.
  • update-pihole.sh: pihole updatePihole.
• Containers and cleanup
  • update-lxc-containers.sh: for each RUNNING LXD container, copies these scripts into the container and runs update-all.sh inside via SSH; temporarily unmasks api.snapcraft.io if needed.
  • do-bedup.sh: runs bedup dedup if available.

Notes:

• update-steam.sh exists but is commented out in update-all.sh. It can install steamcmd and update all installed Steam apps when configured (see the script for details).
• The first lines in update-all.sh optionally self-update the repo via Git if a remote is configured.

Requirements

• Linux with Bash; many scripts expect Ubuntu/Debian (APT) and Snap.
• Common CLI tools: sudo, curl, wget, nc, ping, sed, awk, grep.
• Tool-specific (only needed if you use that ecosystem):
  • Python: python3/pip, pipx, conda.
  • R: R, Rscript; optional RStudio Desktop/Server already installed for version checks.
  • Node: npm.
  • Rust: rustup, cargo.
  • Go: go; installs go-global-update on first run.
  • Julia: julia; optional cargo if juliaup isn’t present.
  • TeX Live: tlmgr.
  • LXD/LXC: lxc, SSH key-based auth to containers.
  • Waterfox: dtrx (for archive extraction); will use /media/adam-minipc/other/debs as a cache if writable, otherwise /tmp.

Usage tips

• Run with bash -x for verbose tracing:

  bash -x ./update-all.sh

• You can comment/uncomment lines in update-all.sh to tailor what runs.
• Many steps require sudo; you may be prompted for your password.
• LXC containers: the updater tries each container’s IP and uses public key auth; ensure SSH access is set up inside containers.

Caveats and behavior

• APT proxy handling: update-apt.sh inspects /etc/apt/apt.conf.d for Acquire::http::Proxy and flips http/https in entries under /etc/apt/sources.list.d for known hosts when a proxy is reachable.
• Snap host toggle: update-snap.sh may add/remove entries for api.snapcraft.io in /etc/hosts during refresh.
• Go install location: Go versions are placed under ~/apps/VERSION and symlinked to ~/apps/go.
• R updates: user library is updated (R_LIBS_USER); ownership of ~/R is adjusted to the current user.
• Waterfox: installs to /opt/waterfox and adds a desktop entry if missing; ensures proper ownership.
