Matt LaPlante	0ba9d4ced7	Refactor file handing for self-update. ... * Write new file payload to a temp file before touching the original binary. Minimizes the possibility of failing mid-write and corrupting the binary. * On Windows, move the original binary out to a temp file rather than removing it as the running binary is locked. Fixes issue #2248.	2022-04-09 21:40:33 +02:00

Alexander Neumann	6e1a3987b7	Add 'self-update' command ... This commit adds a command called `self-update` which downloads the latest released version of restic from GitHub and replacing the current binary with it. It does not rely on any external program (so it'll work everywhere), but still verifies the GPG signature using the embedded GPG public key. By default, the `self-update` command is hidden behind the `selfupdate` built tag, which is only set when restic is built using `build.go`. The reason for this is that downstream distributions will then not include the command by default, so users are encouraged to use the platform-specific distribution mechanism.	2018-08-12 23:34:47 +02:00
