Updates

Automatic Update For Linux

The script below will check to see if dnscrypt-proxy needs updating by comparing the installed version with the latest git version.

If the installed version is older, then the script will update to the newest version.

Tested on: Ubuntu 18.04

Requirements

This script requires dnscrypt-proxy to be installed as a service using,./dnscrypt-proxy -service install and for dnscrypt-proxy to be installed in /opt/dnscrypt-proxy and for the configuration file to be named dnscrypt-proxy.toml.

If dnscrypt-proxy is not run as root then, change sudo chown root:root -R /opt/dnscrypt-proxy to the user dnscrypt-proxy is run as.

Configuration

Initially make sure all the above requirements are met.

Then to get this script to automatically run add this as a cron job under root using sudo crontab -e but, change the file path to the file path the script is saved. 0 */12 * * * /file path/dnscrypt-proxy-update.sh

Also, this script needs to be run as root.

#!/bin/bash
