+The simplest way to stay updated is to use the `latest-release` (or `nightly-release`) branch.
+
+***Note that these methods require that you downloaded VueTorrent using the git method***
+
+## Using crontab
+
+Start by running `crontab -e` to open your cron configuration file.
+
+After that you can add a new job that will periodically check for updates. You can use [Crontab Guru](https://crontab.guru/) for any help with setting up the command.
+
+Example: `0 * * * * git -C /path/to/vuetorrent pull` will run every hour.
+
+## Using systemd
+
+For that method, you'll need SSH and root access to your server / device running qBittorrent.
+
+You'll need to create 2 files:
+
+`/etc/systemd/system/update-vuetorrent.service`
+```service
+[Unit]
+Description=Keep VueTorrent up-to-date service
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=larsluph  # Replace with the owner user
+Group=users    # Replace with the owner group
+ExecStart=git -C /path/to/vuetorrent pull  # Update vuetorrent path accordingly
+```
+
+`/etc/systemd/system/update-vuetorrent.timer`
+```service
+[Unit]
+Description=Keep VueTorrent up-to-date timer
+
+[Timer]
+OnBootSec=1min
+OnUnitActiveSec=1h
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=timers.target
+```
+
+Once both files are created, you need to install the timer:
+- `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
+- `sudo systemctl enable update-vuetorrent.timer`
+- `sudo systemctl start update-vuetorrent.timer`
+
