updater

Auto-updater plugin for the Pilot Protocol daemon. Polls the GitHub releases endpoint hourly, hot-swaps the daemon, pilotctl, and gateway binaries when a newer SemVer tag appears, and exits so the supervisor restarts the new copy.

Install

import "github.com/pilot-protocol/updater"

Usage

u := updater.New(updater.Config{
    Repo:          "TeoSlayer/pilotprotocol",
    InstallDir:    "/home/user/.pilot/bin",
    Version:       "v1.10.5",
    CheckInterval: 1 * time.Hour,
})
u.Start()

Pinning a version

Set PinnedVersion to lock the updater to a specific release tag. When set, the updater fetches the exact release (via /releases/tags/{tag}), applies it if it differs from the current install, then idles — it will not chase the latest release. Clear PinnedVersion (set to "") to resume auto-updating.

u := updater.New(updater.Config{
    Repo:          "TeoSlayer/pilotprotocol",
    InstallDir:    "/home/user/.pilot/bin",
    PinnedVersion: "v1.10.5",  // stay on this version
})
u.Start()

The in-process Service adapter is used when embedding into the daemon; a standalone sidecar binary built from this package is also supported.
