Why not add a setting to app.ini? That way you don't have to recompile the binary when you decide to turn on auto updates.

Because the functionality will be only available for our pre-compiled binaries and our docker image. Everything else can be built totally different and is not in our control. On top of the build flag there will be a setting to opt-out from this process.

We can provide it only for our pre-compiled binaries, you never know which build tags and so on another install got.

@tboerger Fair point.
I prefer a third option: same behaviour as option 2 but with an option to automatically update when there's a security/critical (non breaking) update.

We should probably start with a update-button in admin-view, that gives us basic functions like "Check version against server" (.sig-files as well 😉) and "Update". At a later stage we can add auto-checking and auto-updating, since most likely people will not want to auto-update.

In any case, Auto-Update should be opt-in 😒

What happens to the setcap permissions which I use to bind to port 80. When the binary is replaced, these needs to be set again, which needs root.

That's something that needs to be tested, but AFAIK it doesn't replace the entire binary, it's doing a binary diff and merge.

I think notifications solve a lot of this...

Updating is pretty easy, but I currently have no idea if there is a new version of gitea unless I go and check myself.

I have written a python script to update gitea (but you may need to change the script for your system):

Maybe a solution until the direct go implementation is finally here - sadly it's nearly two years since this issue was created ...

I could try to implement it with https://github.com/rhysd/go-github-selfupdate

Here's the quick and dirty script I use for auto updates (it assumes that you have gitea as a systemd/init.d service):

@sapk no, please don't... A github specific updater built into the binary won't be merged since it will anyway break after a migration to selfhosting.

A selfupdating application isn't that easy, and useful for the prebuilt binaries only. Beside that there are other things that also got to be integrated like optin or optout...

@tboerger It support enterprise version so it support custom url. I could try if it already work with gitea or if we need to fork/PR to be compatible.
