# Discord Automatic Updater
|
|
This is a small shell script and systemd service that automatically check for discord updates in the background. It updates Discord by editing `/usr/share/discord/resources/build_info.json` to the most recent version number - the content of the updates are installed by Discord itself when launched.
|
|
|
|
Currently, this has only been tested with the debian-based Discord package. It may work with the `.rpm` installer as well - let me know if you try it. Update the appropriate environment variables in `update-discord.sh`.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
Run this from inside the Git repo:
|
|
```sh
|
|
# move the script to a system location and make it executable
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
|
|
sudo cp ./update-discord.sh /usr/local/bin/update-discord
|
|
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/update-discord
|
|
|
|
# create the systemd service
|
|
sudo cp ./update-discord.service /etc/systemd/system/update-discord.service
|
|
|
|
# create the systemd timer
|
|
sudo cp ./update-discord.timer /etc/systemd/system/update-discord.timer
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now update-discord.timer
|
|
```
|
|
You can manually test it too:
|
|
```sh
|
|
# check schedule
|
|
systemctl list-timers | grep discord
|
|
|
|
# manually trigger and check logs
|
|
sudo systemctl start update-discord.service
|
|
journalctl -u update-discord.service
|
|
```
