GoUpdater

GoUpdater is a fortified solution for Golang applications, enabling developers to manage updates across multiple projects on a single server. With enhanced security measures, including TLS certificate hash validation, DDOS protection, and an automatic ban mechanism, it ensures uninterrupted and secure software distribution.

Features:

1. Multi-Project Management: Host multiple projects on a single server, streamlining update deployments for various apps simultaneously.

2. Version Management: Directly upload your binaries to specific branches using commands such as -updater=upload-to-main or -updater=upload-to-test.

3. Secure Updates: Application instances automatically seek server-side updates, fetched over a protected channel with file integrity verification.

4. TLS Certificate Hash Validation: Ensures that the server's TLS certificate is genuine, reducing risks associated with man-in-the-middle attacks.

5. DDOS Protection & Auto-Ban: Shields the server from DDOS attacks and bans suspicious activity, ensuring operational resilience.

6. Easy Server Setup: Launching the server application is a breeze. Simply specify the root directory, TLS certificate keys file, and project descriptions in the configuration.

7. Efficient Storage: Updates are stored in compressed formats, optimizing storage space.

8. Version Archiving: TODO: Keep track of your app's evolution with the retention of past versions. By default, the last five versions are stored, but this is configurable.

How to Use:

Server Configuration:

Set up the server with ease: To set up the server:

1. Provide the necessary details in the JSON configuration file:

   {
     "Listen": "0.0.0.0:1980", // ip:port to listen to
     "Storage": "./storage", // specifies the root directory for update storage
     "Projects": // an array that defines descriptions of the projects hosted:
       [
         {
     	"Name": "PROJECT_NAME", 
     	"Key": "KEY", // auth key to upload and check for updates
     	"Branch": "main" // "test", etc. project branch for upload or chack for updates
     },
         ...
       ]
   }
   

2. Launch the server application.

Client Integration:

To use GoUpdater within your application:

var update = goupdater.New("server ip:port", "server auth key", "project name", "project branch");

Update Check:

Verify server-hosted updates:

if ok,err=update.Check(); ok {
    // Handle new updates.
    update.DownloadAndReplaceMe()
}

update.Check() will return true if a newer version is available. update.DownloadAndReplaceMe() will download new file and replace current application in-place.

Upload new version to server:

Upload this copy of application:

	>soft --goupload=main  --branch=main
	Upload done!

Now all other copies of "soft" for its "projectName" and "branchName" will be updated automatically to this version.

Start server:

Just build, edit server/app/config.json and start server/app.

Empower your projects with GoUpdater, combining seamless versioning, security, and efficiency in a unified platform.
