Req: AltServer on linux
I run all my home lab stuff on linux and would like to run the server there too. This would also open it up to raspberry pi devices and such.
To build upon this idea, maybe something like iSH could be supported by (or perhaps even embedded in) AltStore to allow on-device signing. iSH emulates a sandboxed x86 Linux environment.
Oh yeah, if it could run in iSH that would be a major improvement overall!
On device signing is a cool idea but without a really good workaround it’s infeasible. You can’t easily install an ad-hoc app on a server hosted locally
I think iTunes Wifi sync may provide that workaround. Cydia Impactor already runs on Linux anyway, so while I assume a computer would be needed for initial setup, couldn't iSH host the signing and iTunes Wifi sync environment afterwards by identifying itself as the computer used for setup? I'm not sure if iOS rejects iTunes Wifi sync requests from localhost.
I think that works but it requires a paid developer account because of the entitlements needed
I second this. I use Linux as my daily driver and this would be much appreciated.

Well that is still a very useful feature for developers since altserver is not required to install apps. (Refreshing isn’t really a problem here since it is 365 days)
If you have enough horsepower, you can run Windows 10 in QEMU (https://www.qemu.org/) and AltServer/iTunes work fine. I just got a Proxmox (https://www.proxmox.com/en/) VM up and running just for AltServer. Its not the same and it's a pretty big resource drain for one program but it works.
This would be very very nice to run to server on Pi’s as well as linux desktop machines. Would definitely love to see this, however I don’t think Apple supports native Linux builds for iTunes and iCloud
Well this probably has a lot of that information on Anisette as used in iCloud: https://github.com/horrorho/InflatableDonkey/issues/87
ARM Linux has already a working implementation of CoreADI, library that reads authentication data. It was made for Apple Music for Android but it turns out that it does not needs libandroid.so. I thinks it is a good start point.
Would be an amazing addition and allow me to do all that I need from within Archlinux instead of having to reboot into my Windows 10 or use a VM. As mentioned above, implementation would be quite streamlined (albeit, I have no idea of the realistic difficulty).
Maybe using a light weight virtual machine that hosts only the required components could be the best course. Does Wine work well with iTunes? Could be another route.
I started a project like that but it depends a lot on the host machine (some shared libraries such as GNUTLS are not recognized correctly) and it is illegal to redistribute iTunes if I remember well.
I also vote for this, it would be very nice as I use Linux as my daily driver.
There are still files that AltServer requires that aren't available for linux yet. Once a workaround is found there will definitely be official support for it. We all want to see linux support, including Riley.

iTunes is kinda broken in the current version of wine, the GUI is all blacked out with some elements popping in and out of existence. But even if there was a workaround for that, iTunes just won’t be able to recognize any iOS device as USB support in wine is lacking currently, I say currently because it is something they’re working on but it’ll most likely take a long while to come out....
We can use wine with basic libraries, since it works (I tried it) in order to get anisette. But nothing more. Everything should be made on Linux. So to do it there must be a self contained executable with wine et prefix that will return anisette data in serialized format, that will be read by another native program, that will do all requests. The only things that is missing is the WiFi sync support in libimobiledevice

Looks like there's now Wifi-sync support on latest libimobiledevice version.

Anything new on this? It would be really cool if I could run AltServer on my Raspberry Pi HomeBridge!
I got something on my side but still require some time before it is ready
Ok, cool
I got something on my side but still require some time before it is ready
anything new?

~~Sorry to break hype, but my research gave something, that cannot finally be used to install apps without wine.~~
Okay I cancel what I said it should let us go further on the objective (but still not sure)
