@grunjol @feross would be cool if someone tried installing the .deb file and tested this release on Linux

because we recently added 32- and 64-bit versions, feross might want to test the auto updater

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 64bits. Working fine (and with a very fast startup time!)

[dcposch]

Thanks @grunjol !

I think @feross has a two Windows VMs (32- and 64-bit) the app at v0.16 on them. Let's run them and make sure they auto update correctly.

[feross]

I'll test this out shortly.

It's not easy to test the autoupdater on an unreleased version. Let's just ship this and I'll test immediately.

We should fix that

[feross]

Server is out of space. Looking into it.

[dcposch]

webtorrent.io is currently down

How much downtime is there each time we update this repo?

Do we have something like Uptime Robot for webtorrent.io ? I use it for scramble.io and dcpos.ch, it's free and works pretty well

How much downtime is there each time we update this repo?

No more than a second or two. The server is turned off, a couple mv commands run (those are instant), then it is started again.

Just signed up. @dcposch I'll add your email to the notification list.

Okay -- added more storage capacity to the server, the disk resizing I did during the migration a few weeks ago had failed. But it's all good now!

Now -- testing the autoupdater.

@dcposch Please accept the email invitation so I can add you to the alerts.

@dcposch @feross uptimerobot only checks externally if the server is up. I recommend you NewRelic, I have 100+ servers under the free account (only show the last 24hs stats) but you can setup internal server alerts (disk space, I/O, CPU usage) to avoid server outages.

[feross]

@dcposch Added you

[dcposch]

@grunjol @feross Linode also offers that type of server monitoring (disk space alerts, I/O, CPU). I think you want both. Server monitoring is good but you also want to check that the service is actually up, and Uptime Robot has the advantage of simplicity

I tested the auto updaters on Windows. Installed 0.16 64-bit. Correctly updated to 0.17 64-bit.

Installed 0.15, which only came in 32-bit. Updated to 0.17 32-bit, which then updated to 0.17 64-bit.

Looks good.

@dcposch Nice. I'm still struggling to get it downloaded over here. GitHub is silly slow. I bet they're throttling us, since we're using around 600GB of bandwidth per month at the moment.
