@Steizam
Using Docker for your installation could help.
Here's not the best, but simple way to do this:
Run Castopod stack
Use a tool like Watchtower to pull new images by the tag you've chosen and automatically rebuild your containers when new image is being pushed.
By the way, @Castopod, it'd be nice to have a tag like 1 which follows all updates under 1.x.x, but wouldn't include 2.x.x versions when Castopod 2 comes out to avoid unexpected problems.
@skobkin @Castopod What they need to do is implement a system like WordPress has... where when there's a new version, the notification appears directly in the panel, and if you want to update, you simply click to download and overwrite (or delete what's no longer needed and copy the new version). I appreciate your suggestion, Alexey, but I'd prefer that they be the ones working on improving their tool.
system like WordPress has.
Yes, I understand that. Both as a PHP developer and Wordpress user.
I'm just proposing a solution for you personally.

Castopod has a bunch of end-user facing UX problems so this feature may be not a highest priority. At least it wouldn't be for me if I was developing it.
I suppose we're as a community are always welcome to contribute to what we're personally interested in.
Although if I'd personally found time to contribute, it'd be something like implementing clickable chapters or something like that, that listeners of my podcast are struggling with.
Especially considering that solution already exists for containerized deployments which I can guess should be far more popular these days than "drop files into Apache" ones.
@Castopod It's time to get serious and implement automatic updates for Castopod. It's 2026, not 1999... having to delete things and re-upload them via FTP is ridiculous.
