Description

  • Add a command to
    • fetch the latest version of the webui from the webui url,
    • pin it
  • Add a command to replace the current version with the new one available (this will be triggered by the user via an update button from the webui)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing command structure in kubo, identify how webui is currently installed and configured, and design a new update command that fetches, pins, and reinstalls the webui.
