Description
What were you trying to do?
Use Cloudflare R2 as NativePHP updates provider.
What happened?
After publishing a new version, no popup or notice appear when restarting the app.
How to reproduce the bug
Cloudflare R2 is an S3-compatible object storage. When using it as a NativePHP updates provider, I set env vars to something like this:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[R2 API token access key]
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[R2 API token secret access key]
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=EEUR
AWS_BUCKET=bucket-name
AWS_URL=https://r2-updates.example-domain.com
AWS_ENDPOINT=https://[long-random-string-from-R2].r2.cloudflarestorage.com
AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=false
AWS_S3_TOKEN_VALUE=[R2 API token value]
Note, AWS_URL value is actually a custom subdomain pointing to the R2 bucket. The only current reliable way to make R2 bucket publicly available is to point a custom (sub)domain.
At this point, building and uploading to R2 works.
What is not working – automatic updates. Or, rather, checks if an update is available.
Got some debugging info this way:
- I've cloned nativephp/electron and configured local path as Composer repository.
- In electron-plugin/dist/index.js changed some code to:
startAutoUpdater(config) {
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const customLogger = {
info: (message) => {
fs.appendFileSync('/tmp/ivsa-electron-logs.log', `[INFO] ${new Date().toISOString()} - ${message}\n`);
console.info(message); // Optional: keep console logging too
},
warn: (message) => {
fs.appendFileSync('/tmp/ivsa-electron-logs.log', `[WARN] ${new Date().toISOString()} - ${message}\n`);
console.warn(message);
},
error: (message) => {
fs.appendFileSync('/tmp/ivsa-electron-logs.log', `[ERROR] ${new Date().toISOString()} - ${message}\n`);
console.error(message);
}
};
customLogger.info("Starting auto updater");
customLogger.warn("Starting auto updater");
customLogger.error("Starting auto updater");
var _a;
if (((_a = config === null || config === void 0 ? void 0 : config.updater) === null || _a === void 0 ? void 0 : _a.enabled) === true) {
customLogger.info("Checking for updates");
autoUpdater.logger = customLogger;
autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify();
customLogger.info("Updates checked");
}
}- Bundled and ran the app.
- Got log messages:

The problem is that https://[xxxxxx].r2.cloudflarestorage.com/ivsa-updates/latest-mac.yml is not the right path to load the latest-mac.yml file. But https://r2-updates.example-domain.com/latest-mac.yml is.
In order to form that URL, AWS_ENDPOINT must be changed to https://r2-updates.example-domain.com, but then bundled app upload to R2 fails with error, R2 response's status code 401.
