Automating Wakapi Updates with Autoupdate

Wakapi, a powerful open-source analytics tool, offers deep insights into your coding activity. To ensure Wakapi is running smoothly with the latest features and security patches, it’s crucial to keep it up-to-date. Streamlining this process is made possible with Chapati Systems Autoupdate.

Configuring Autoupdate for Wakapi

Setting up Autoupdate for Wakapi involves integrating a dedicated section for Wakapi in the configuration file. Consider the following example to configure Autoupdate for Wakapi:

[Wakapi]
update=False
apiUrl=https://api.github.com/repos/muety/wakapi/releases/latest
system=linux_amd64
serviceName=wakapi
config=/etc/wakapi.yaml
file=/usr/bin/local/wakapi
preUpdateHook=
postUpdateHook=

In this configuration snippet, the update field is set to False to disable automatic Wakapi updates. The apiUrl parameter specifies the URL of the latest Wakapi release on GitHub, and additional parameters like system, serviceName, config, and file are used to tailor the update process for a Linux system running on an AMD64 architecture. The preUpdateHook and postUpdateHook options allow for the execution of commands before and after the Wakapi update process.

Updating Wakapi

Once Autoupdate is configured for Wakapi, updating the tool becomes a straightforward process. Execute the following command as the root user on your server:

root@server:/opt/config# autoupdate --config=/etc/autoupdate.ini

This command reads the configuration file from /etc/autoupdate.ini and performs the following steps:

1. Retrieve the latest release information from https://api.github.com/repos/muety/wakapi/releases/latest
2. Compare the current version of Wakapi on your server with the latest version available on GitHub
3. Pull the latest release
4. If specified, run the preUpdateHook before updating Wakapi
5. Restart Wakapi
6. If specified, run the postUpdateHook after updating Wakapi
