Flatpak

Open rugk opened this issue 6 years ago • 8 comments

Seeing you have docker support, what about flatpak?

That is actually much more suited for desktop environments. And seeing "localhost" in your Readme, I guess, it is intended that this is run on the desktop and you just "localhost" your DAV client to it?

However, flatpaks usually have a GUI, you do not have it. However, I think this is no technical requirement – it's just not so good for providing screenshots for https://flathub.org/ or so. :smile:

Thanks for the comment. I don't know much about creating flatpak images. I also don't know much about docker, support was added by a contributor...

Happy to add flatpak if someone sends a PR and maintenance is not a pain (I.e. zero or close to).

@bilelmoussaoui, yay, thanks! Looking forward to the PR.

Definitely prefer Flatpak over Docker for desktop since it's easier to integrate into the desktop application menu and setup autostart with it too.

We now have precompiled binaries which serve the same purpose and solve this.

Check out the release assets for download links.

@bilelmoussaoui, does the offer to help still stand? Would love to have it! Especially now that we plan on having desktop apps for notes and the rest of the things.

Sure, as I don't use the apps myself, I would need some guidance on which desktop apps needs to be packaged and I can figure out sometime to look at it

Yay, thanks a lot! Well, it's quick easy, just pip install etesync-dav and the executable is etesync-dav. The running process is a background daemon (it also tries to open a URL in the default browser on first launch).

If you have any more questions, please consider coming to https://www.etesync.com/community-chat/ and we can chat there.

Thanks a lot!
