Love this app and wanted to send in my autoupdating baremetal stuff that runs once per day. i have it deployed in a lxc container on proxmox using debian 12 image. Please feel free to add it to the baremetal instructions if you'd like.

🔖 Feature description

There are plenty of valid reasons for not using autoupdate but for home use it works great.

✔️ Solution

create the script

# nano /opt/uptime-kuma/update.sh

script contents

#!/bin/bash

# Navigate to Uptime Kuma directory
cd /opt/uptime-kuma

# Fetch the latest code from the repository
git fetch --all

# Get the latest stable release tag
latest_tag=$(git tag --sort=-creatordate | head -n 1)
echo "Checking out the latest tag: $latest_tag"

# Check out the latest stable release
git checkout $latest_tag --force

# Install dependencies and download prebuilt files
npm install --production
npm run download-dist

# Restart Uptime Kuma using PM2
pm2 restart uptime-kuma

make the script executable

# chmod +x /opt/uptime-kuma/update.sh

set a cron job to execute the script once per day (currently runs at 2AM)

# (crontab -l; echo "0 2 * * * /opt/uptime-kuma/update.sh >> /opt/uptime-kuma/update.log 2>&1") | sed '/^$/d' | crontab -
