Awesome app. It is somehow not listed on android-foss list so maybe someone didn’t know about it.
Obtainium allows you to install and update Open-Source Apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.

They don’t seem like they have background installation mechanism right?
I went all of the troubles creating an automation with Tasker because I haven’t found one that worked like Google PlayStore’s auto-update back then.
I wonder if there is a couple of them out there that already has those? Maybe like with shizuku, ADBwidi, or root access?
Edit: typo
If it’s on F-Droid, you can use Droid-ify + Shizuku for automatic background updating.
There are two options that makes me a bit confused.
Auto update apps. Try to install updates automatically
Notify about new versions of applications. Show a notification when new versions are available
Do I have to turn off the later to let the auto-update runs fully in background or It’s fine to keep both enabled?
On the first run, I think I had both enabled and I still tapped multiple times. Shizuku installer worked great though.

From the readme on GitHub:
Auto (unattended) updates are unsupported due to a lack of any capable Flutter plugin.
