Updates — myNetWorking manual

How you update depends on where you got the app. Store versions are updated by the store. Versions downloaded from this site have a Check for updates button in the settings, and you install the new version yourself.

Store versions

Versions from the Mac App Store, App Store, Microsoft Store and Google Play update through the store — usually automatically, according to the store’s settings. They don’t have the Check for updates button and don’t connect to nci.pl.

Versions from this site

The .dmg file for macOS and the .deb and .rpm packages for Linux have a Check for updates button in Settings → Information & help (below the App version field). The app never checks for updates on its own — it connects to nci.pl only when you click the button.

Open Settings → Information & help.
Click Check for updates. For a moment, you’ll see “Checking for updates…”.
Read the result:
- You have the latest version — “myNetWorking 1.1.0 is the newest version available.” Close the dialog with OK.
- Version … is available — the dialog shows the installed version and the release date of the new one. Click Open download page or Later.
When you click Open download page, the Installation page opens in your browser. Download the new version and install it as described below.

The app does not download or install anything by itself.

Installing the new version

macOS (.dmg): quit myNetWorking, open the new .dmg file and drag the app to the Applications folder, agreeing to replace the old version.
Ubuntu and Debian (.deb): install the new package with the same command as the first time, e.g. sudo apt install ./mynetworking_1.1.0_amd64.deb — apt replaces the older version.
Fedora (.rpm): in the same way, sudo dnf install ./mynetworking-1.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm.

Your service list, settings, incidents and log stay as they are. You can read what has changed in the new version in the changelog.

If the check fails

What the check sends

When you click the button, the app sends one HTTPS request for the file https://nci.pl/mynetworking/version.json. The request contains only the app’s version number and the name of the system (in the User-Agent header) — no data about you or your services. As with any connection, the server sees the device’s IP address. The app opens only nci.pl addresses in the browser, and if the app’s language is English, German or Spanish, it opens the page in that language. The privacy policy has the details.

Which version do I have?

The Settings → Information & help → App version field shows the number of the installed version. If there is a Check for updates button below it, you have a version downloaded from this site; if there isn’t, the app comes from a store.
