After playing around this morning, I managed to get updates working with electron-simple-updater - at least on Linux.

After uploading them to the repo releases, just put the correct version and link in updates.json. It'll download the new version on launch, then the next time you open the app will prompt you to install the new version.

What do you think about this? I was assuming the setup would only be on first-install, not every update.

Not able to get this working. Now we just have a notification flag.

@montyanderson What should we do?

Ask someone with experience with electron-simple-updater/ electron-updater
Roll out own automatic update solution
Automatic updates are impossible and we should not do them.
