# LazyUpdateManager # LazyUpdateManager
LazyUpdateManager is a small update helper for Arch Linux and Hyprland. It checks for available package updates and sends a desktop notification at most once per week while updates are pending. > A lazy Arch Linux update helper with desktop notifications, web UI, and Electron app.
LazyUpdateManager checks for available package updates and sends a **weekly desktop notification** while updates are pending. No nagging, no constant reminders just a gentle nudge once a week.
---
## Quick Start
```sh
git clone <repo>
cd LazyUpdateManager
./install.sh
```
That's it. After installation you have:
| Was? | Befehl |
|------|--------|
| Desktop-App starten | `lazy-update-manager gui` (oder aus Wofi/Rofi starten) |
| Nur Web-UI | `lazy-update-manager gui web` |
| Updates prüfen | `lazy-update-manager check` |
| Status anzeigen | `lazy-update-manager status` |
| Interaktiv aktualisieren | `lazy-update-manager update` |
| Version prüfen | `lazy-update-manager version` |
---
## Features ## Features
- Checks official repository updates with `checkupdates` when available, otherwise `pacman -Qu` - **Automatische Updates** prüft offizielle Repos (`checkupdates` / `pacman -Qu`) und AUR (`paru` / `yay`)
- Checks AUR updates with `paru -Qua` or `yay -Qua` when either helper is installed - **Wöchentliche Erinnerung** per `notify-send` oder `hyprctl notify`, maximal einmal pro Woche
- Sends notifications with `notify-send`, with `hyprctl notify` as fallback - **Web-Oberfläche** browsergestützte UI für Update-Suche, Filter, Pakete ignorieren, Systemstatus
- Provides a graphical browser UI for checking and installing updates - **Desktop-App** Electron-Wrapper für native Fenster-Integration
- Provides an Electron desktop app wrapper for the GUI - **systemd-Timer** prüft alle 2 Stunden, erinnert wöchentlich
- Supports update search, source filters, ignored packages, system status, and auto-refresh - **Einstellungen** Terminal, Sprache (DE/EN), Auto-Refresh, Ignorierte Pakete, AUR an/aus
- Includes a systemd user timer that checks every two hours and reminds weekly - **Selektive Installation** einzelne Pakete gezielt aktualisieren
- Provides an interactive `update` command
## Requirements ---
- Arch Linux ## GUI Web & Desktop
- Go 1.22 or newer to build
- `pacman-contrib` recommended for `checkupdates`
- Optional: `paru` or `yay` for AUR updates
- Optional: `libnotify` for `notify-send`
- Optional: Node.js and npm for the Electron desktop app
## Build Die GUI bietet dir:
Build the Go backend: | Funktion | Beschreibung |
|----------|-------------|
| 🔄 Refresh | Update-Liste manuell oder automatisch aktualisieren |
| 🔍 Suche & Filter | Pakete nach Quelle (Repo/AUR) filtern und durchsuchen |
| 📦 Selektive Installation | Nur bestimmte Pakete installieren |
| 🙈 Pakete ausblenden | Noise-Reduktion durch Ignorieren |
| 🖥️ Systemstatus | Pacman-Lock, Festplatte, Kernel, AUR-Helper, Terminal |
| ⚙️ Einstellungen | Timer, Terminal, Sprache, Auto-Refresh, Bestätigungen |
```sh ```sh
make build # Web-UI im Browser öffnen
lazy-update-manager gui web
# Desktop-App (wenn prefer_electron aktiviert)
lazy-update-manager gui
``` ```
Full install (recommended): > Selektive Paket-Installs nutzen `pacman -S --needed` oder den AUR-Helper mit `-S --needed`.
> Full system updates sind auf Arch der sicherere Weg.
---
## Installation
### Mit install.sh (empfohlen)
```sh ```sh
./install.sh ./install.sh
``` ```
## Usage - Prüft Abhängigkeiten (Go, Node.js, npm)
- Installiert npm-Pakete (Electron)
- Baut Go-Backend
- Kopiert Binary nach `~/.local/bin/`
- Legt Launcher `lazy-update-manager-electron` an
- Installiert Desktop-Eintrag (für Wofi/Rofi)
- Aktiviert `prefer_electron` in der Config
- Installiert und aktiviert systemd-Timer
### Manuell mit make
```sh ```sh
./bin/lazy-update-manager status make build # Nur Go-Backend bauen
./bin/lazy-update-manager check make install # Binary + Desktop + systemd installieren
./bin/lazy-update-manager check -quiet make desktop # Electron-App im Dev-Modus starten
./bin/lazy-update-manager notify make desktop-dist # Distribution bauen (AppImage, Pacman)
./bin/lazy-update-manager notify -force
./bin/lazy-update-manager gui
./bin/lazy-update-manager update
``` ```
## Graphical Interface ### Electron-Distribution bauen
```sh
./bin/lazy-update-manager gui
```
The GUI opens in your browser and lets you:
- refresh the update list
- search and filter updates by source
- start update installation in a terminal
- select individual packages and install only those when you explicitly want that workflow
- hide noisy packages from the active update count
- see system readiness, Pacman lock state, disk space, AUR helper, terminal, and kernel version
- enable or disable AUR checks
- change the reminder interval
- configure automatic refresh
- choose the terminal used for installing updates
- manage settings in a dedicated dialog with tabs for general behavior, notifications, installation, and ignored packages
- disable reminders, keep install terminals open or let them close, and control confirmation for selective installs
- switch the interface language between German and English
Selective package installs use `pacman -S --needed` or the configured AUR helper with `-S --needed`. On Arch, full system updates are still the safer default because partial upgrades can cause dependency mismatches.
## Desktop App
Install the Electron dependencies once:
```sh
npm install
```
Start the desktop app (development):
```sh
make desktop
```
Or use the installed launcher directly:
```sh
lazy-update-manager-electron
```
Build distribution packages (AppImage, Pacman):
```sh
make desktop-dist
```
### Desktop Launcher
After installation, a launcher script `lazy-update-manager-electron` is placed in `~/.local/bin/`. It sets the project directory and starts Electron directly. This is also what the desktop entry (wofi/rofi) uses.
When running `lazy-update-manager gui` from the terminal, the Go backend tries to start the Electron app automatically when `prefer_electron` is enabled (default after installation). You can force the web interface with `lazy-update-manager gui web`.
## Install
```sh
./install.sh
```
Or with `make`:
```sh
make install
```
This installs:
- the binary to `~/.local/bin/lazy-update-manager`
- the Electron app launcher to `~/.local/bin/lazy-update-manager-electron`
- a desktop entry to `~/.local/share/applications/lazy-update-manager.desktop`
- the user service and timer to `~/.config/systemd/user/`
The installer also runs `npm install`, builds the Go backend, sets `prefer_electron: true` in the config, and enables the systemd timer.
### Build Electron distribution packages
```sh ```sh
./install.sh electron-dist ./install.sh electron-dist
``` ```
### Check version and update ### Aktualisieren
After installing, check the installed version with:
```sh
lazy-update-manager version
```
To update to the latest version from this repository:
```sh ```sh
git pull --ff-only git pull --ff-only
./install.sh ./install.sh
``` ```
If you prefer to test the local build without installing, run the bundled binary directly: ---
```sh ## Anforderungen
./bin/lazy-update-manager gui
```
## Weekly Reminder | Paket | Hinweis |
|-------|---------|
| Arch Linux | |
| Go ≥ 1.22 | Zum Bauen |
| `pacman-contrib` | Empfohlen für `checkupdates` |
| `paru` / `yay` | Optional für AUR-Updates |
| `libnotify` | Optional für `notify-send` |
| Node.js + npm | Optional für Electron-Desktop-App |
The timer runs every two hours, but `lazy-update-manager notify` stores the last reminder timestamp in: ---
```text ## Desktop-App Details
~/.local/state/lazy-update-manager/state.json
```
That means you only get a reminder once per week while updates are available. Der **Launcher** `~/.local/bin/lazy-update-manager-electron` startet Electron mit dem richtigen Arbeitsverzeichnis. Er wird vom Desktop-Eintrag (Wofi/Rofi) und intern von `lazy-update-manager gui` verwendet.
Settings are stored in: Suchreihenfolge für das Projektverzeichnis:
1. `$LAZY_UPDATE_MANAGER_DIR` (Env-Variable)
2. Aktuelles Arbeitsverzeichnis (wenn `electron/main.cjs` existiert)
3. Relativ zum Binary-Pfad
4. `$HOME/Projekte/LazyUpdateManager`
```text ---
~/.config/lazy-update-manager/config.json
```
## Check Timer ## Daten & Konfiguration
| Pfad | Inhalt |
|------|--------|
| `~/.config/lazy-update-manager/config.json` | Einstellungen (Terminal, Sprache, AUR, Timer, …) |
| `~/.local/state/lazy-update-manager/state.json` | Letzter Check, letzte Erinnerung, Update-Count |
| `~/.local/share/applications/lazy-update-manager.desktop` | Desktop-Eintrag für Menüs/Wofi |
| `~/.config/systemd/user/lazy-update-manager.{service,timer}` | systemd-Timer |
### Timer-Status prüfen
```sh ```sh
systemctl --user status lazy-update-manager.timer systemctl --user status lazy-update-manager.timer
systemctl --user list-timers lazy-update-manager.timer systemctl --user list-timers lazy-update-manager.timer
``` ```
