## Feature Request: Faster / Real-time App Update Detection

Currently, new application updates can take quite a while to appear in the Runtipi dashboard after a new version has been released upstream.

Would it be possible to make update detection more immediate?

Ideally, when a new application version is released and the Runtipi app repository/catalog is updated, the update should become available in the dashboard as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the next long update-check interval.

Possible approaches could include:

• Reducing the interval used to check for application updates
• Adding a manual "Check for updates" button that forces a fresh check
• Using an event/webhook-based mechanism where possible
• Making the update-check interval configurable by the user

Expected behavior

When a new version becomes available in the Runtipi app catalog, the dashboard should detect and display the update within a very short period of time.

Why this would be useful

For users who actively maintain their self-hosted applications, delayed update notifications mean that new releases may already be available upstream while Runtipi still reports the installed application as up to date.

Faster update detection would make application maintenance through Runtipi much more responsive.

Thanks for considering this!
