# vaultwarden-updater This script checks if Vaultwarden is up to date, updates it if necessary and sends a message to a Telegram bot. ## Introduction The trap to avoid when installing custom software is to update it. It seems obvious but it is never very easy because there is often a compilation part, interoperability management between bricks, backups and so on. ## Requirements ### Software It is clearly necessary to have deployed a Vaultwarden instance on your server. I wrote an article about this topic here: https://illuad.fr/2020/06/11/install-vaultwarden.html Since a message is sent to a Telegram bot, it is necessary to have one configured. I wrote an article about this topic here: https://illuad.fr/2020/10/27/get-a-telegram-alert-on-a-ssh-login-with-pam.html ### System This script can run on any GNU/Linux machine. This script uses `git`, `cargo`, `curl` and `restorecon` commands but if you have followed my article, some of them are required which means they will necessarily be installed. ## Installation Since this script must be executed with root rights, it is a good practice to place it in `/usr/local/sbin/`. ``` curl -LOsSf https://gitea.illuad.fr/adrien/vaultwarden-updater/raw/branch/master/vaultwarden-updater sudo mv vaultwarden-update /usr/local/sbin sudo chmod 750 /usr/local/sbin/vaultwarden-updater ``` Create the logs' directory. ``` sudo mkdir -p /var/log/updater/vaultwarden-updater ``` ## Configuration This script requires the configuration of 3 variables to work: `key`, `chat_id` and `username`. Variables `key` and `chat_id` correspond to the API key and the chat id obtained during the bot creation process. The variable `username` must match the username with which you installed Vaultwarden. #### Fast variables setting For the `key` variable. ``` sudo sed -i "s/key=/key=/" /usr/local/sbin/vaultwarden-updater ``` For the `chat_id` variable. ``` sudo sed -i "s/chat_id=/chat_id=/" /usr/local/sbin/vaultwarden-updater ``` For the `username` variable. ``` sudo sed -i "s/username=/username=/" /usr/local/sbin/vaultwarden-updater ``` ## Automation Running this script automatically is a good idea, here is what you should have in the cron jobs of the root user. ``` sudo crontab -l 0 1 * * * /usr/local/sbin/vaultwarden-updater ``` Every day at 1:00 am, the script will check if Vaultwarden is up to date.
