Most Electron/desktop apps rely on GitHub Releases + Squirrel or SaaS for updates.
I built FaynoSync, an open-source self-hosted API server for managing app versions and updates. It supports multiple channels, platforms, architectures, private apps with auth, multiple S3 providers, flexible user management, telemetry, and critical updates. Repo: https://github.com/ku9nov/faynoSync My question: Would you self-host an updater instead of using GitHub/SaaS? Which features are essential? Or is the problem already solved well enough? |
