Let's assume I have a software application with millions of files. The files receive frequent updates.

Is there a way to distribute those updates across all those devices?

I'm thinking something like Torrents/IPFS/Resilio. . . But they all seem like overkill.

I've been looking at my Search Engine, and thought it would be cool to allow people to download the database themselves, and run a local UI, for maximum privacy.

I would just be creating records within the main database. I could offer searches through the main site and allow people to explore it on their desktops.

All receivers (I call client) must get all the files from the source (I call server) ?

Then, does the clients are known ? (Example : you can access, or you can left a tutorial and they can install a new software)

If yes for all files :
Git could work, but you have to host the server, cause no free online website do allow big content.

If no for all files : Then a solution could be to share with https://zeronet.io/

This post is not done writing, i'll complete later.
