vscodium.now.sh returns 404

First of all, thank you for this project. All the work is greatly appreciated.

I have my own VSCodium setup (how to configuration guide) documented on: https://github.com/kstrize/embedded_ide and in that guide (for Linux) I check for VSCodium updates by configuring:

cd ~/.config/VSCodium
touch product.json
vim product.json
{
    "updateUrl": "https://vscodium.now.sh",
    "downloadUrl": "https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases"
}

This configuration brings "Check for updates ..." button to the Settings menu and is used just for new version checking. The installation is done manually.

For some time, the "Check for updates ..." (https://vscodium.now.sh) returns 404 code. So currently it is not possible to check for new VSCodium version.

If this is not accidental, then is there a new way for checking the new VSCodium version on Linux?

Since 1.97, it's "updateUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VSCodium/versions/refs/heads/master" (#2215)

Anyway, on Linux, I recommend that you use your package manager to update VSCodium

I use deb packages and this requires to get those packages from another repo: https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo I just prefer not to include it and do it manually.

Thank you for the new info. I have modified the product.json:

~/.config/VSCodium$ cat product.json 
{
  "updateUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VSCodium/versions/refs/heads/master",
  "downloadUrl": "https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases"
}

But now when I check for updates, it always indicates there is an update:

By the way, I've made a new repo https://repo.vscodium.dev/ (src: https://github.com/VSCodium/repositories-linux). It's also support arm32 install.

Great! Is https://repo.vscodium.dev/ going to be the default package repo replacing the https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo that is currently mentioned on the https://vscodium.com/ ?

It works on 1.99.32704. I was able to detect 1.99.32846 update.
