# 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.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Checks official repository updates with `checkupdates` when available, otherwise `pacman -Qu`
|
|
- Checks AUR updates with `paru -Qua` or `yay -Qua` when either helper is installed
|
|
- Sends notifications with `notify-send`, with `hyprctl notify` as fallback
|
|
- Provides a graphical browser UI for checking and installing updates
|
|
- Provides an Electron desktop app wrapper for the GUI
|
|
- Includes a systemd user timer that checks every two hours and reminds weekly
|
|
- Provides an interactive `update` command
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Arch Linux
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./bin/lazy-update-manager status
|
|
./bin/lazy-update-manager check
|
|
./bin/lazy-update-manager check -quiet
|
|
./bin/lazy-update-manager notify
|
|
./bin/lazy-update-manager notify -force
|
|
./bin/lazy-update-manager gui
|
|
./bin/lazy-update-manager update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Graphical Interface
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./bin/lazy-update-manager gui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The GUI opens in your browser and lets you:
|
|
|
|
- refresh the update list
|
|
- start update installation in a terminal
|
|
- enable or disable AUR checks
|
|
- change the reminder interval
|
|
- choose the terminal used for installing updates
|
|
|
|
## Desktop App
|
|
|
|
Install the Electron dependencies once:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start the desktop app:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build desktop packages:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make desktop-dist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This installs the binary to `~/.local/bin/lazy-update-manager`.
|
|
|
|
It also installs a desktop launcher to `~/.local/share/applications/lazy-update-manager.desktop`.
|
|
|
|
## Enable Weekly Reminder
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make enable-user-service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The timer runs every two hours, but `lazy-update-manager notify` stores the last reminder timestamp in:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.local/state/lazy-update-manager/state.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That means you only get a reminder once per week while updates are available.
|
|
|
|
Settings are stored in:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.config/lazy-update-manager/config.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Check Timer
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
systemctl --user status lazy-update-manager.timer
|
|
systemctl --user list-timers lazy-update-manager.timer
|
|
```
