⁠What is Tauri Dynamic Update Server?

Tauri Dynamic Update Server⁠ is a minimalistic server that can be used to serve updates to Tauri applications dynamically. This server image is ~137MB in size and is based on the debian:bookworm-slim⁠ image.

⁠How to use this image

      github_token: mygithubtoken
      github_repo_owner: mygithubusername
