Sounds like a good idea!
Even there is Domino on Docker, which allows a quite seamless update.
Having a product that can update itself would be very convenient.
There are some challenges to solve specially on Linux/AIX, because Domino is using as a normal user acocunt and not root.
The installation will still need some down time. Unless you:
- copy the existing binary directory
- apply the update to the copy
- shutdown Domino
- swap the binaries
-start
- This might be too complex. How long would a downtime be? Would be 2-4 minutes OK
- What about roll-back if it did not work?
- So maybe the cloned binary directory might be a good idea for both?

So this would need an Upgrade Task, and a Database with Content. This should require authorisation to do, and should restart the server afterwards as well.
It should be an additional option, NOT replace the current installer.
