Hi Dave/Team,

I am currently working on the auto-up= date feature of pgAdmin 4 desktop application, #5766.


As we are using Electron= for shipping our desktop application, I have gone through some possible wa= ys we can implement the auto update of the app.

I found 2 most popular ways, that are

  1. Use builtin electron= =E2=80=99s autoUpdater (Uses the Squirrel framework & Available for= Mac, Windows)
  2. Use electron-builder= and electron-updater packages=C2=A0(Available for Mac, Windows and Lin= ux systems)

Linux systems:

  • Builtin Elec= tron=E2=80=99s autoUpdater support is not available.
  • electron-build= er and electron-updater can be used, but need to change the whole build pro= cess. Also most apps like VS code, Chrome, etc does not support auto-update= of apps on linux systems.=C2=A0

Mac systems:

<= ul>
  • We can use the builtin Electron=E2=80=99s autoUpdater to add auto-update= feature to macOs systems, It is simple and easy to configure. We need a mi= nor modification in our build process i.e. as we are supporting Intel and A= pple silicon chips, deployment url will have 2 zip files and each zip file = will hold the build for arm64 and x86_64.
  • electron-builder a= nd electron-updater can be used. With this, we have to change the whole bui= ld process.=C2=A0

    • Windows systems:<= /p>

    • We can use the builtin Electron=E2=80=99s autoUpdater to add auto-up= date feature to windows systems, Here also we need to change our build proc= ess. Electron=E2=80=99s docs recommend using electron-winstaller or electro= n forge to create the installer and some extra changes are needed in the de= ployment server.
    • electron-builder and electron-updater can b= e used. With this, we have to change the whole build process.=C2=A0

    As Electron's builti= n autoUpdater is easy to use so for now we can move with the auto-update of= the pgAdmin app on macOs systems as it requires minimal changes.


    Please share your suggestions or feedback.


    Thanks,

    Anil
