Right now:

  • either the user should update manually
  • or In VS Code Desktop Gitpod extension manages it somehow.

Instead the local companion should support self-updating.

Here is the golang module which can be used a start: https://github.com/sanbornm/go-selfupdate
One can have a look how it was adopted by https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/updater
It looks we will need to provide new endpoints to enable self updating on ide.gitpod.io, so it depends on running the ide proxy.

Removing from inbox for now, will re-visit when we look to move local companion out of beta #7185

Question is how do self-updates work if I compiled the Local App from source by myself?
