From @Kilian in Slack:
I've tried this, but I'm running into a problem (I think, the docs are not super clear here)
I'm pretending to get an update by running an earlier version on a mac, so locally I pretend to be 1.2.0 and calling this url: https://electron-update-server.herokuapp.com/kilian/fromscratch/darwin/1.2.0 gives me the current latest version with the correct download link, but I get no update-available or update-downloaded events. Could this be due to me using _v_1.3.0 as the version name?
Additionally, https://electron-update-server.herokuapp.com/kilian/fromscratch/win32/1.2.0 gives me a 'not found', same as https://electron-update-server.herokuapp.com/kilian/fromscratch/win32-x64/1.2.0 or https://electron-update-server.herokuapp.com/kilian/fromscratch/win32/1.2.0/RELEASES the latter per de update-server readme)
Beyond that, is it supposed to automatically extract the downloaded ZIP file and extract the contents in-place? How does that work?

should be good now: https://electron-update-server.herokuapp.com/kilian/fromscratch/win32/1.2.0

That is beyond this service and should be handled by electron's auto-updater module
To clarify
should be handled by electron's auto-updater module
is handled 👍
Closing. Feel free to comment here if this merits more discussion.
