versioncheck

Server-side version-check module for apps

Getting started

Versioncheck should be installed globally, like this:

sudo npm install -g versioncheck

Once installed it can be started like this:

sudo versioncheck

It will daemonize itself and run in background, spawning a process for every CPU core available.

Configuring

Place a file named "versioncheck.json" under /etc and versioncheck will load it at startup.
The file is a simple JSON object containing all of the settings.
This is the default one, shipped with the default installation:
