How do auto-updates work?

[qrkourier]

If I opt-in to auto-updates will they happen inside the app or does turning that on kick off a process on my system? It asked me for root permission on Linux so I canceled because it's unclear why it's asking.

This will be part of @scareything monitor service. I am simply setting the values.

@scareything - fyi. This issue was transferred from the UI project to here (by me) because it feels more relevant to ziti-edge-tunnel to me. but really, i don't think this issue has a good "single repository"?

[qrkourier]

For my info, does the scope of the monitor service include reconciling state between the Linux tunneler and the Linux UI?

[dovholuknf]

The service would be responsible for controlling the data service, collecting logs, that sort of thing. not reconciling state. currently, the data service (ziti-edge-tunnel) sends IPC messages when events happen. The UI then reacts to those events
