Update Checker & Security

Nord Crafting contains a GitHub release checker for private/public repository workflows.

Console command:

nordcrafting:update

The Admin Studio can also request update status.

Recommended token handling

The updater supports providing the GitHub token through a server convar:

set nord_crafting_github_token "YOUR_TOKEN"

Do not publish a live GitHub access token inside documentation, screenshots, public ZIPs or shared config examples.

If a token has previously been distributed in plaintext, rotate/revoke it in GitHub and move the replacement to a private server-side secret/convar.

Download behavior

The updater can download the latest release ZIP into the resource directory, but the current flow still expects the server owner to extract/apply it and restart the resource/server manually.
