Originally created by @jjeising on GitHub (Jan 28, 2025).

Every time the settings panel is shown, getUpdateStatus is called:

github.com/jetkvm/kvm@8ffe66a1bc/ui/src/components/sidebar/settings.tsx (L316)

GetUpdateStatus then calls fetchUpdateMetadata, which connects to api.jetkvm.com/releases:

github.com/jetkvm/kvm@8ffe66a1bc/ota.go (L449C25-L449C44)

When auto update is disabled, JetKVM should only connect to api.jetkvm.com when "Check for updates" is run (probably in UpdateDialog).

It's not quite every time, as the settings menu items are only loaded when the page loads, but I agree that it shouldn't be trying to contact the API at all unless auto update is enabled/Check for Update is clicked.
