Update Hysteria2 Client and Servers

This skill updates the Hysteria2 proxy client on 192.168.50.99 and the remote servers it connects to.

Infrastructure Overview

Client machine: derekhe@192.168.50.99 (sudo password required)
Two client service instances:
- hysteria-server.service → config /etc/hysteria/config.yaml → connects to proxy.april1985.com
- hysteria-server2.service → config /etc/hysteria/config2.yaml → connects to proxy6.april1985.com
HTTP proxies on client: port 4080 (instance 1) and 5080 (instance 2)
Remote servers: proxy.april1985.com and proxy6.april1985.com, accessible as root via SSH key ~/.ssh/id_rsa from 192.168.50.99

Update Procedure

Run the update.sh script from this skill directory. It handles everything automatically:

bash update.sh

The script will:

Update the client binary on 192.168.50.99 using the local Hysteria HTTP proxy (port 4080) for fast GitHub download
Fix the systemd service file if the installer overwrote it with server mode (must be client mode)
Verify both client services are running
Update both remote servers via reverse SSH tunnel (port-forwarding the local proxy to the remote machine for fast download)
Verify all versions

Key Notes

Always use http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:4080 when downloading on the client to avoid slow direct GitHub speeds
Use -R 18080:127.0.0.1:4080 SSH reverse tunnel when updating remote servers to route their downloads through the local proxy
The hy2.sh installer may overwrite hysteria-server.service ExecStart to hysteria server --config .... Since both configs are client configs, this must be fixed to hysteria client --config ...
hysteria-server2.service uses bare hysteria --config ... (no subcommand) and is not affected by this issue
