Is Linux supported?

Open maffblaster opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

Yo! The blog post mentions Linux support. The README's section on Linux is blank. Maybe I'm missing something. Is Linux actually supported (yet)?

Yes it's supported and will be distributed as .AppImage (is it ok? or .deb?), there's a little issue with registering system wide protocol for gvfs-open, when it will be sorted out will update this issue.

Maybe you could help out with gentoo? Electron does not seem to deal with system protocols for Linux.

Consider using flatpak for linux. It has unofficial gentoo support and there is electron-installer-flatpak.

Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

  • Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
  • One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
  • No unpacking or installation necessary
  • No root needed
  • No system libraries changed
  • Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
  • Optional desktop integration with appimaged
  • Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
  • Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
  • Works on Live ISOs
  • Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

electron-builder can generate an AppImage automatically for you.

There is appimage that is auto generated by electron-builder https://securelogin.pw/SecureLogin-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage However I never tested if it properly works because... priorities. But eventually will.

Oh, i was searching for right one and when found it download started & it wasn't saved in chrome's address bar. So here's right one https://securelogin.pw/apps/SecureLogin-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage
