Github hosting question

[nanoandrew4]

Hello, I have just set up a cloud VM to host an image which points to one of my repositories where I am uploading builds as releases. However, I was wondering if the updater app will download the data through my VM, or will it download it directly from Github? I ask because I have to pay for every GB of download, and I'd like to share my builds with the community, but also don't want to be ruined by too many people downloading my 1.3GB update files...

I have a feeling due to the cache mechanism being used that the updater app downloads directly from the VM, and it only goes to Github to download the file which it then relays to the updater, but thought it couldn't hurt to ask :)

Hi,

As per #85 description AFAIK it should cache only the release information ( a JSON payload ) to avoid querying the Github API everytime a request is made, but the files to be downloaded would still live on Github and the direct links would come from Github's release asset links ( the Github CDN ). But I'd also wait for @toolstack feedback on this just to have a double confirmation.

Hope this answers your question. Enjoy using LineageOTA.

BR,
Julian

Yep, the cache only stores the api data, the actual download URLs are still pointing at github, so the OTA server isn't involved in the transfer of the OTA from github to the device.
