# AppImage building
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The image must be built on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial, to ensure compatibility with
|
||
|
|
older systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LXD can be used to setup a suitable container from any distro.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If not done already (all default settings are usually fine):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lxd init
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Initialize a new container named `ubuntu`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lxc launch images:ubuntu/xenial/amd64 ubuntu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, you can either clone the repo from inside the container...:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lxc exec ubuntu -- apt install -y git
|
||
|
|
lxc exec ubuntu -- git pull https://github.com/mirukana/mirage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...or directly copy a repository from your local filesystem inside:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lxc exec ubuntu -- /bin/mkdir -p /root/mirage
|
||
|
|
lxc file push -vr <path to repo root>/* ubuntu/root/mirage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the build script inside the container:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lxc exec ubuntu -- /root/mirage/packaging/appimage/build.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also start a shell inside (e.g. if something goes wrong):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lxc exec ubuntu -- /bin/bash
|
