AppImage Configuration

Setting Updates

Shelly supports updating AppImages in two ways:

1. A static URL
2. A Repository from GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, or Forejo.

Static URL:

Enter the URL to the AppImage which you have been downloaded. Shelly will use this to check for updates.

Repository:

You will need the Repo Owner and Repo Name. Shelly will then check for updates from this repository.

For example, if we were to add OSU as an AppImage from GitHub, the repo url would be: https://github.com/ppy/osu

We would then enter

ppy/ous in the repo url field.

Then Shelly will check for updates from the ppy/osu repository user the most recent release or from the most release pre-release based on your settings.

Key Details for updates:

1. Shelly will check the version from the .desktop file and compare it to the latest release.
2. If the version is Unknown shelly will update to the latest release, and track the version via the tags for the future.
3. If your AppImage has a self-update feature, this is the best way to update and track updates. You can use the sync feature to keep your AppImage info up to date.

Syncing AppImages

1. Sometimes you may want to sync your AppImages with the latest release this is most useful for self-updating AppImages.
