Notify about new new update being available - but "programmatically"?

Ondersteuning Installatie
1

Hi guys.

Is it possible to tell discourse to notify about new update being available but outside of webui?

Perhaps sending an email or even better by using filesystem - touching/spitting out a customized file to a given location. When local installation itself, finds that such update is ready - not outside of this local discourse and by going out to git or any other, external source code repo.

Does that make sense?

many thanks, L.

i believe that new version emails is the admin setting you want

If you have SMTP configured, and you’ve configured a ‘contact email’ in the site settings, then you should receive an email notification for new versions:

Unless I missed something this setting - available in webui - seems crude. So it email-notifies about an an advent of new version but does it only one time, first time it sees an update available, right? If one missed such email notification then… that is it?

Would it not be great if this was bit enhanced (if devel reads here) - so users can set frequency of notification until there is no new version available. (for update was done)

I’m not a coder thus no chance to tamper with the source - perhaps there is a plugin - especially with functionality of rendering a file as opposed to an email - do you know? (I hoped perhaps production.log had something about upgrade-ready state, but I think it does not)
