What is electron-release-server?
Electron Release Server is a self-hosted web server designed to manage and distribute updates for Electron applications. It solves the problem of hosting a private update server by providing a full-featured interface for release management and API endpoints that work seamlessly with Electron's built-in Squirrel auto-updater. Developers can upload release assets, organize them by version, channel, or flavor, and serve them to end-users through customizable download URLs.
Electron application developers and teams who need to self-host their release distribution and update infrastructure, particularly those who require more control than GitHub-based solutions or third-party services provide.
It offers a complete, open-source alternative to commercial update services, with a feature-rich web UI, support for multiple platforms and release strategies, and the flexibility to store assets locally or on S3. Its compatibility with Squirrel ensures seamless integration with existing Electron apps.
