Packages for Linux distributions

[maksis]

Example packages for Gentoo: Daemon / UI

You may make a pull request for the installation doc page that contains a list of available packages.

[KipourosV]

maybe I could help on that

[maksis]

Which distributions are you interested in?

[KipourosV]

I can do debian/ubuntu but I need some guidance as what needs to be done...

[KipourosV]

Anything new here?

[maksis]

Proceeding with this might be a bit difficult without a dev hub. I'll try to set it up at some point.

[maksis]

Finding out what needs to be done with the specific package is the first thing to do for people willing to help on this though...

[KipourosV]

Ok, so the help requested has to do with compiling on specific distros and creating binaries (.deb etc)??

[maksis]

Preferably yeah, the goal is to make it easy to install the client

[sbraz]

@maksis One thing that would make the whole thing (daemon+UI) easier to package would be tagging webui releases on github. As your UI does not actually require nodejs, it should be easy to download it without using npm.

[maksis]

Web UI releases are now tagged at https://github.com/airdcpp-web/airdcpp-webui/releases and I've added some useful information to the issue description.

@synaomen, did you encounter issues with building the Debian packages?

[Gibbz]

any progress on ubuntu packages? either a deb, snap or flatpack?

[maksis]

@Gibbz no, I'm not aware of anyone working on those

[EduCampi]

I can help with Fedora x86_64

I've just compiled and installed in Fedora 24. I don't really know how to create the rpm though, so if youc an point me in the right direction, I could do it and share it so you can upload to your webpage.

Regards

[maksis]

@EduCampi I'm even less familiar with package management on Fedora, but this is what I found: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package

You might also want to check out https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help if you need more information

Is there any way to get this working on a NAS? (Thecus 5810)

[maksis]

@ExoduS-81 I'm a bit late, but the new Linux binaries might work: https://airdcpp-web.github.io/docs/installation/linux-binaries.html

@maksis I was looking into this to build a package for Alpine. There is quite an issue...

What is the License? AirDC++ looks like GPL2, but there is no license for this repo nor the webui.

Could you please but an LICENSE file in the root.

[maksis]

The license is MIT (https://www.npmjs.com/package/airdcpp-webui). I can also add a separate license file in the repository.

I've added a helm chart for this to Truecharts, an apps repository for TrueNAS SCALE:

• Truecharts website
• Truecharts apps repository
• Helm chart for airdcpp-webclient.

The license is MIT (https://www.npmjs.com/package/airdcpp-webui). I can also add a separate license file in the repository.

Please add the license file to the repository to avoid confusion.

[maksis]

Please add the license file to the repository to avoid confusion.

Done

Thanks!
