 A comprehensive web-based tool to automate and manage your Transmission torrent downloads with RSS feed integration, intelligent media organization, and enhanced security features. Now with automatic updates and easy installation!
 
+## Update System Requirements
+
+To use the automatic update system, the following requirements must be met:
+
+1. **Git must be installed:** The update system uses Git to fetch the latest version.
+2. **Installation must be a Git repository:** Your installation directory must be a Git repository clone.
+3. **Internet connectivity:** The server must be able to connect to the Git repository.
+
+If you installed using the bootstrap installer, these requirements should be met automatically. If you experience issues with the update system, please ensure Git is properly installed and accessible to the application.
+

 ### Prerequisites
 
 - Ubuntu/Debian-based system (may work on other Linux distributions)
-- Git (will be automatically installed by the bootstrap installer if needed)
+- Git 2.25.0 or later (will be automatically installed by the bootstrap installer if needed)
+  - Required for the automatic update system
+  - Must be available in the PATH of the user running the application
+  - Must have proper permissions to access the installation directory
 - Internet connection (for downloading and updates)
+  - Required for Git operations during updates (fetching latest code)
+  - Outbound access to git.powerdata.dk repository server

 - Restore your configuration
 - Restart the service automatically
 
+### Troubleshooting Update Issues
+
+If you encounter "Failed to connect to server" or similar errors when checking for updates:
+
+1. **Verify Git Installation**: Ensure Git is properly installed
+   ```bash
+   which git
+   git --version  # Should be 2.25.0 or higher
+   ```
+
+2. **Check Repository Status**: Verify the installation directory is a Git repository
+   ```bash
+   cd /opt/transmission-rss-manager  # Or your installation directory
+   git status
+   ```
+
+3. **Check Internet Connectivity**: Make sure the server can connect to git.powerdata.dk
+   ```bash
+   ping git.powerdata.dk
+   curl -I https://git.powerdata.dk
+   ```
+
+4. **Check Permissions**: Ensure the application user has access to the Git repository
+   ```bash
+   # Check ownership of the .git directory
+   ls -la /opt/transmission-rss-manager/.git
+   # If needed, fix permissions
+   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/transmission-rss-manager  # Adjust user as needed
+   ```
+
+5. **Manual Update**: If the web update still fails, try the manual update method from the command line
+
 ### Using the Installer
 
 You can also update by running the installer again:
