Auto update plugin files about lavalink HOT 9 CLOSED

Lavalink already updates your plugins when you specify a new version in your application.yml

from lavalink.

Oof, I mean, auto updating version in application.yml, not retrieving the specified version automatically.

I don't see how this would be a good idea
Updating software should be a manual process
What if a newer plugin version introduce breaking changes all of the sudden?

from lavalink.

I was thinking of implementing rule system of updating plugins. Like not updating to a new version if the version name contains specific strings, or not updating plugins if the version name contains changes in MAJOR update indicator.

A technical problem with this is that we would need to somehow overwrite the configuration. Even if we assume that you configured Lavalink with a non-JSON YAML file, and we are somehow able to detect it, overwriting that file is still tricky.

Plugin devs are not required to follow semver spec nor should they be required to
This sounds overcomplicated for no actual benefit

If anything there could be a cli tool to update plugin versions to their latest releases via a manual command

All in all I don't think this is an issue at all
Plugins tend to not update that often

I think it would be beneficial to know which actual issue this feature request should solve

from lavalink.

i use many plugins(not so many, about 5 or 6 I think) with my project, and I'm so tired of updating each plugins manually. I have to check the plugins webpage, and write it down if the update is available.
So I wanted to make Lavalink able to update its plugins automatically.

you can watch projects on github and get notified about new releases
