Updating

How it works

Daimon checks for a new version at launch, when its panel opens, and once a day, and shows the result in the panel.

• Nothing is installed until you click Mettre à jour vers la v… (Update to v…).
• The signature of each update is verified before it replaces the application.
• During installation, the panel says so; if a check or an installation fails, it shows the reason.

Windows

The Mettre à jour (Update) button installs the new version. You can also download it from the releases page.

Adjusting or turning off the check

Create an update.yaml file in the configuration folder (panel › Ouvrir le dossier de configuration (Open the configuration folder)). The keys read by the code, under update:, and their default values:

Key	Default	Meaning
enabled	true	Automatic check
interval_hours	24	Interval between two checks, in hours
auto_apply	false	Apply automatically
allow_prerelease	false	Accept preview releases
channel	empty	Update channel; empty = the installed version's channel

To turn off the automatic check:

update:
  enabled: false

Network

The check is Daimon's only Internet connection; it is served by GitHub Releases. See Privacy.
