4Minitz update check
A small rest service that returns the current stable 4minitz version.
It...
- queries the current stable master version from github via github.repos.getTags().
- offers a simple rest route that will deliver this version to clients
Installation
Install dependencies with npm or yarn
$ yarn install
and start the service with
$ yarn start
to connect to the end2end mongodb server or set the MONGO_URL env variable to point to another installation
$ MONGO_URL=mongodb://user:password@server:port/database yarn start
Version hints
The version-checker searches for a file called versionmessage.json to get extra info for a version, like config changes, cool new features or even security warnings.
Usage
You may manually check the service like so:
$ curl localhost:8080/updatecheck/${MYCLIENTUID}/${MYVERSION}
$ curl localhost:8080/updatecheck/MyClientsUniqueID/v0.10.0
This should return the current officially released master version like so:
{"tag":"1.0.2",
"message": {"1.0.x":"Our initial release","1.0.2":"Important bugfix. Please upgrade!"}
}
