Discord auto update
@readwithai - X - blog - machine-aided reading - 📖⚡️🖋️
Automatically update discord if there is a new version when it runs on linux.
Discord, in their wisdom force you to install a new version of discord on Linux whenever one exists but does not handle the update themselves. They also quite regularly update discord. I want to run discord when my computer starts - but this behaviour is making this impossible.
This script installs a new version of discord if it exists and then run discords.
Installation
You can install discord-autoupdate using pipx:
pipx install discord-autoupdate
Usage
If you run discord-autoupdate this will install a new version of discord if it exists and then run discords.
There are some other options which you can see with --help.
I use the following autostart script (in ~/.config/autostart) to run discord-autoupdate on startup:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/home/alex/.local/bin/discord-autoupdate
Icon=Discord
Name=Discord
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Version=1.0
You may wish to add a desktop file to run discord-autoupdate.
