Deno Updater Proxy

Sample PoC for Tauri updater using deno deploy or cloudflare workers.

For update server to work there are a few enviornment variables that need to be set either in the local development enviornment or in the deploy settings. These enviornment variables are:

name	description	required
GITHUB_ACCOUNT	Github account	YES
GITHUB_REPO	Repository name	YES
GITHUB_TOKEN	Personal token	NO

Once the enviornment variables are set you can start it locally using:

> GITHUB_ACCOUNT=lemarier GITHUB_REPO=tauri-test deployctl run --watch ./main.ts

Endpoints

This is the exposed endpoints and are fully compatible with tauri update server.

Once you deployed your server, you could use the main endpoint as update server in tauri.conf.json

Sample deno deploy URL: https://cool-goose-79.deno.dev/

Github releases

The update proxy will automatically find the right update archive for the right platform but the assets name should contains these keywords:

Platform	Keywords	Extension
macOS	.app darwin osx	tar.gz
linux	AppImage	tar.gz
win32	x32 or win32	zip
win64	x64 or win64	zip

Example, this is all valid examples or correct naming structure:

updater-example_2.0.0_amd64.AppImage.tar.gz
updater-example_2.0.0_x64.app.tar.gz
updater-example_2.0.0_x64.msi.zip

Known issue

• Need to implement cache (not available for deno deploy yet)
