AutoUpdater via an external site

[shrewd yew]

Hello !
How can I make an autoupdater who download and verify the version and if there are an new version, download via an external site ? (like https://exemple.com/app/latest/) ?

I know, with Electron Builder, you can a generic option that can point to your own domain/server.

You can also do this with #🏭・conveyor (see https://hydraulic.dev/), it only requires a static HTTP server for update sites

@shrewd yew There's a dedicated Conveyor Discord and also channel here, if you like. Are you maybe using different config files? You need to set the conveyor.license-key key to one of the codes you received when you subscribed. This is normally added for you, but if you're copying config files around then it can be that you end up with one that doesn't have this line because it was copied before it was added, and then you'd get this error.

Alternatively if you're doing an open source project, you need to set app.vcs-url to where the source code can be found.

Thanks but where can I find the key when I sign up? And I only use one configuration file.

I’ll ask the question about the official discord then

My project is not open source

When you paid, you should have received an email with three short codes, they look like abcd-efgh. So, find that email, then set one of those keys at the top level of your config file by using a line like conveyor.license-key = abcd-efgh.
