The problem it solves

Keeping your self-hosted tools up to date means checking for new releases, updating settings, and manually triggering a deployment every time. Skipping updates risks missing bug fixes and security patches, but checking constantly is its own chore.

Who it fits

Technical teams and IT operators who self-host tools and want updates deployed automatically.

How it works

  1. The system checks for new software releases on a schedule
  2. It confirms the release is new and not already deployed
  3. The deployment platform's version setting is updated
  4. A new deployment is triggered automatically
What you get

Updates running without you touching a server

Your server picks up new software releases and deploys them automatically, so you're always running the latest version.

What you get

An automatically deployed software update with no manual steps.

What you need

A deployment platform account with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
