I need a script to automatically update an application/folder on a Raspberry Pi. The script should be runnable as a cron job at night and check a server for the current software version by calling an URL like http://server/update/version The server will report the current version, a download URL for the update and a local folder where the update should be extracted. { "version": "5", "url": "http://server/update/[login to view URL]" "localFolder": "/home/application" } If the version number is larger than the one currently installed the script should download the archive from the URL provided into the local folder specified and extract it there. Then, the new software version number should be stored locally in a text file. Finally, the Raspberry Pi should be restarted. The downloaded file should be checked for integrity before extracting it.

Dear Sir, I am Thomas, a 22 years old french that graduated from university back in 2012. Back when I was a kid, I only had a computer to play with, so I spent all my time on it. That's why I now have more than 7 years of experience in Linux systems administration, and I have knowledge with the most popular Linux distributions. I worked as a network/system administrator at various companies where I set up WebServer, DNS servers, Databases, Monitoring, Backups, Scripting jobs, Virtualisation and so on. You can checkout my profile and see how much Linux-related project I successfuly completed. Please come and have a chat with me, I am kind and helpful. Regards,

Hi, i think that a bash script or scp may be enough, otherwise I can write some app with nodeJS to do it.

(Ich lebe seit vielen Jahren in Indonesien, aber komme ursprunglich aus Belgien) Guten Morgen, I've been designing advertising displays on the Raspberry for a long time and have a lot of experience in headless configuration and deployment methods for this platform. We have hundreds of Pi's attached to remote LCD displays and deploy software and content updates via the air. There's a lot of ways to achieve what you need so I'd like to chat with you to find out the best solution for your project. My solutions are solid and have been implemented on large scale. No half work, no patching, ready for future expansion. With kind regards KJ

Hi, I have 4 years of Python coding experience and I'm using ubuntu as my day to day OS. I can do this either in shell scripting or python. no additional modules would be needed for python. I can have it ready in 4 hours in python. In shell scripting it will take me a day probably. Let me know if I can help. Thanks, Bogdan

Will use Python to implement this. 1. Read remote version number 2. Read local file 3. Compare 4. If version number is newer , then download it; if not, just exit 5. Check file using tar tzf to test integrity. 6. If file isn't good, exit 7. Extract file 8. Update local version file 9. Restart Logs will also be writing to a local file.

The simplest approach is to write it as a shell script. I will send you such a script to try before buying. It contains comments that give more detailed information about what it does. At the top you will see these lines, which you should edit as appropriate for your system: # Settings VERSION_URL='http://server/update/version' WORKING_DIR='/var/local/run/update' If you would like changes then please get in touch.
