First of all thanks! Not sure if you know any of the Linux maintainers, but if you do I'd love to know how to get in touch with some of them.

Are you looking for mitmproxy-on-linux maintainers, or Linux kernel maintainers? You have found the former I suppose, but I'm the wrong person to ask for the latter. :)

I was looking for a quick way to update my version from the command line (ubuntu), but --options didn't show anything off hand like an --update/--upgrade. I just briefly skimmed the docs/google for something that would avoid having to reinstall the binary.

EDIT: also is there a way to configure the IDE that pops up when I go to edit path? It's vim which is fine, I'm just curious if I can either integrate a custom vim installation or route it to another IDE.

The recommended way to install mitmproxy on Linux is to download new standalone binaries. They are self-contained and can just be dropped into /usr/local/bin. If you want some way to update automatically, use our Docker images, install via pipx (https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/overview-installation/#ins...), or (for Windows users) use the Microsoft Store.

You can set $MITMPROXY_EDITOR or more generally $EDITOR. :)
