hazel

We have hosted the application hazel in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about hazel:

This project lets you deploy an update server for Electron apps with ease: You only need to click a button. The result will be faster and more lightweight than any other solution out there! Once it's deployed, paste the deployment address into your code (please keep in mind that updates should only occur in the production version of the app, not while developing). Since Hazel routes all the traffic for downloading the actual application files to GitHub Releases, you can use their API to determine the download count for a certain release. Display an overview page showing the cached repository with the different available platforms and file sizes. Links to the repo, releases, specific cached version and direct downloads for each platform are present. Automatically detects the platform/OS of the visitor by parsing the user agent and then downloads the appropriate copy of your application.

Features:

• Recommended by Electron
• Built on top of micro, the tiniest HTTP framework for Node.js
• Pulls the latest release data from GitHub Releases and caches it in memory
• Refreshes the cache every 15 minutes (custom interval possible)
• When asked for an update, it returns the link to the GitHub asset directly (saves bandwidth)
• Supports macOS and Windows apps

Programming Language: JavaScript.
