Given the input below, appimage-builder must download the bash package along with its dependencies. The filesystem package and its dependencies must be excluded (dependencies should be excluded only if they are not required by other included package).

Once the packages are download they should be extracted using AppDir as root.

AppDir:
  pacman:
    include:
    - bash
    exclude:
    - filesystem

Questions:

• Is it possible?
• How?

The following output returns 0 so my CI pipeline reports success.

The official distributions docker images don't include the X11 and other required packages for running applications with graphical interfaces. We should provide derivated images that do include such packages.

The project https://github.com/TheAssassin/appimagecraft has existed already before this project was born. Please rename your project in order to avoid confusion.

Why list libraries to be included in appimage? You can get all libraries with a shell one-liner:
ldd usr/bin/kcalc | sed -e 's/^.* => //' -e 's/ (0x.*$//' | grep '/usr/'

Embed the versions of the binary source packages in order to ease the reproducibility of the AppImage

I am compiling gdm3setup's last version from master branch as appimage and it is giving me the following error

AppImageBuilder.app_dir.runtimes.wrapper.app_run.AppRunError: Unable to find a wrapper for: ELF 64-bit LSB pie , x86-64

Am I missing something?

In order to reduce generated include size only should be included those packages that will not be included as dependencies of other packages.

The following command can be used for the apt-bundler:

dpkg-query -W -f='${depends}\n' python3

Hi,

Further to my previous issue, I've been able to find a workaround. I've currently come upon another problem which is that once the appimage is build & executed on a different system, I get a 'file not found' when attempting to execute the appimage.

I'm building the appimage on Debian 10, as follows:
Linux debian-box 4.19.0-12-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.152-1 (2020-10-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm then running the appimage on Manjaro, as follows:
Linux opus 5.8.18-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Nov 1 14:10:04 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The libc version on the Debian machine is 2.28, on the Manjaro 2.32.

When running the appimage on Debian, the appimage unzips to the tmp directory, and invokes execve on the entrypoint binary:

execve("/tmp/.mount_AlbertXxV4yQ/usr/bin/albert", ["/tmp/.mount_AlbertXxV4yQ/usr/bin"...], 0xc78090 /* 78 vars */) = 0

This is successful and the app runs fine.

However, when the appimage is invoked on Manjaro, I see the following:

access("/tmp/appimage-18df7fd4-9f36-42f4-bd98-e571e07249c5-ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", F_OK) = 0
chmod("/tmp/appimage-18df7fd4-9f36-42f4-bd98-e571e07249c5-ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", 0770) = 0
execve("/tmp/.mount_Albert6SehZ0/usr/bin/albert", ["/tmp/.mount_Albert6SehZ0/usr/bin"...], 0x1e01780 /* 114 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I'm not entirely sure why this happens, but I suspect it's something to do with not being able to access the correct dynamic linker. I've been able to run the appimage with GDB and break on the execve instruction. I can then go into the appimage directory in /tmp and look around. It's using the following as its interpreter:

/tmp/.mount_Albert7zPPDs/usr/bin/albert: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /tmp/appimage-155e2dab-6729-4b90-bbf3-fda53a4775f1-ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=9a8a065af8bc1accfca8287621eeb01aea12f5aa, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, with debug_info, not stripped

This file seems not to exist at the moment that the exec occurs, but does seem to exist in the strace. I'm unsure where to go from here, but am wondering if anyone else has hit this.

When I run appimage-builder --generate I get the following error:

INFO:Generator:Searching AppDir
INFO:Generator:Searching desktop entries
INFO:Generator:Reading desktop entry: rakarrack.desktop
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/appimage-builder", line 18, in <module>

    exec = self.parser['Desktop Entry']['Exec'].strip()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py", line 959, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'Desktop Entry'

It seems to me that this is a problem with .desktop file so here is my desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;
Exec=rakarrack
Name=Rakarrack
Comment=Guitar Effects Processor
Terminal=false
Icon=rakarrack

Weirdest thing with this is that it seems to only happen with desktop files that I manually write,
because when I, for example, download audacious.deb package with apt download audacious and extract it
and use desktop file that was inside of it, this error does not happen.

AppImageLint provides a check list for validating the AppImage bundles.

We have seen so many application authors wanting to integrate AppImages into their release system but they fail because they have very little knowledge about AppImages or think it as a chore. So I propose that we build some kind of server-less Javascript or GUI Application to generate the yml configuration file with respect to their Continuous Integration platform. For starters we can aim at travis-ci.

I can help to get this idea started, But I really don't know if its a good idea. Any suggestions?

Right now the progress notification are a bit missleading it would be great to improve them.

As far as I know nothing changed on my side, but I do my builds in a docker container that is updated weekly so it may have pulled a new version of appimagebuilder. To test that theory I rebuilt the build container with release 12 and got the same result. The log of the build is below. If you want/need full build instructions or just an app image to start with, let me know and I can make that available.

When running appimage-builder twice over the same AppDir without redeploying the interpreter path is miscalculated. In order to fix this we need to load the existent values and don't re-patch those binaries that were already modified.

In some cases is required to patch some file, right now appimage-builder must be ran twice. It would be great to only have to run it once.

Running tests in a CI environment is not a simple task as it requires the app to be executed. But it's possible to know which libraries that are required by the application to run are not present in the target system. Which is good for the purpose of knowing if the app will run.

I know builder doesn't support this os yet I tried to build anyways to test this,

So steps I did to built appimage

• Used pacman to download deps to cache dir

• Unpacked all deps to AppDir

• Used builder recipe without having apt section and added env overrides

It did built fine but builder did not auto added libc to opt/libc.

if I manually add links of ld-linux* files to opt/libc/usr/lib, lib32 dirs then appimage works on arch only but that doesn't use glibc from appimg.

The current recipe is functional but not too expressive. I would like to discuss with the users how to improve it. This will be part of the 2.0 version of appimage-builder. Bellow you will find an example, comments are welcome

TODO:

• Find a way of setting the application version from the using the recipe instructions

QUESTIONS:

• Should we keep using "AppDir" as main key or "package" as purposed here?
• Should we keep the runtime generation as an "auto-magic" step or also include it as part of the recipe steps?
• Should we keep the zipping of the AppDir as an "auto-magic" step or also include it as part of the recipe steps?

I'm trying to learn how to create an appimage and I started to with the official tutorial I found here:

https://appimage-builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro/tutorial.html

Sadly I get an error when trying to create the Appimage in the last step:

INFO:TEST CASE 'fedora':Executing: ./AppRun
ERROR:appimage-builder:Tests failed
ERROR:appimage-builder:Execution failed. Error message: ('Connection aborted.', FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'))

log file and yml recipe attached (I renamed the yml to txt, because GitHub doesn't accept .yml files)
appimage builder-log.txt
AppImageBuilder.yml.txt

Is this a bug, or did I do something wrong?

the binary name has a typo: appimage-builer https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder/blob/master/setup.py#L30

When a package was downloaded in a previous build and later explicitly excluded in the recipe it still get's bundled if the cache is not cleaned.

As the project grows in features the readme starts run out of space. Better documentation should be made perhaps in the form of a wiki. It should include:

• the appimage-builder.yml specification
• example recipes for the different technologies and systems
• troubleshooting guide
• step by step tutorial for newcomers
• advanced topics
  • updates
  • signatures
  • troubleshooting

Currently ld.so is used to exec the app main binary but in some cases, such binary is statically linked therefore ld.so fails.

Detect when statically linked main binary is used and don't call ld.so on it.

Fonts support on the testing archlinux docker image is broken.

I'm not familiar with Arch, therefore I may need some help on this. You can find the image recipe here: https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/tests-env/blob/master/archlinux-latest.docker

Create an user-oriented readme including:

• installation instructions
• recipe breakdown and examples

Alpine Linux is well known for being a highly optimized solution for containerized software distribution. This also applies to AppImages. Therefore it will be a great opportunity to reduce the final AppImages size.

It's possible to extract all the dependencies of an application using the following script:

APP=./my_app
LIBRARIES=$(LD_DEBUG=libs $APP 2>&1 | grep 'init: ' | rev | cut -f 1 -d' ' | rev)
for LIB in $LIBRARIES; do echo -n '    - '; dpkg-query -S $LIB | cut -d':' -f 1 ; done | sort -u

It would be great to have an appimage-builder-auto tool to create a recipe template for the user.

Program headers not in the first page error message when trying to run the contents of extracted AppImages on FreeBSD.

AppImage/AppImageKit#98 (comment)

Same issue with the GCompris AppImage.

Interestingly, this error does not happen e.g., with the Akira AppImage that was made with go-appimage's appimagetool -s deploy: akiraux/Akira#3 (comment)

I don't have any idea yet what may be causing this. Probably something related to the way the ingredients are compiled, or something about the systems/tools they are compiled on?

(May be useful for testing: https://www.nomadbsd.org/)

Following this tutorial here: https://appimage-builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro/tutorial.html

After setting up the repository and running the app during appimage-builder --generate just fine, my next step was (to fix docker) and then afterwards run this command: appimage-builder --skip-test --skip-appimage

Which produced:

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS x86_64
Kernel: 5.4.0-48-generic

I packed my application with that tool in custom docker image container and tested it on another computer
The output:

APPRUN_WARNING: Unable to find interpreter: /tmp/appimage-28878975-d60a-450b-8191-3e279a820e92-ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Well, I have been trying to use appimage-builder to build an appimage, but the problem is, it does not check for its own dependencies before running commands. It uses 200+ MBs of data using apt-get update and apt-get download. After it has downloaded files, it deploys these packages and goes on to running some other code or commands. But what does it find? Some file or module is not present in the system or some package is not installed. So I install a package with those files in it. In theory, it should work now. But when I run appimage-builder again, it shows the following message:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x99 in position 0: invalid start byte
Then I have to delete appimage-builder-chache directory to start from beginning. it runs apt-get commands again and then it finds something else to be missing. So, I have to do the same process again and again without any meaningful result. I did it almost 7-8 times before I gave up. I'm sick of this behaviour of your app. It should just check for dependencies before doing anything else and tell me what package/file/module is missing in the beginning. And if I forget to install something, it should be able to continue after I install that thing.
I am using Debian BullsEye with gnome desktop by the way.

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders binary was usually installed into /usr/bin this is no longer valid for Debian 10.5 and Ubuntu focal.
Therefore we need to improve the lookup method.

As of 202011, the KStars appimage bundle fails with:

Building dependency tree...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

Some issues are about kio and a few others, which simply might not be in the include list. I have to double check these ones.

My main issue here is about libindi-data. It appears we have multiple versions of that package in the ppa:

And indeed, the packages are spotted when appimage-builder is enumerating dependencies:

INFO:apt:apt-get install -y --download-only frameworkintegration:amd64=5.44.0-0ubuntu1 (...)
    libindi-data:all=1.8.7~202011231040~ubuntu18.04.1
    libindi-data:all=1.7.6~201812191815~ubuntu18.04.1
    libindi-data:all=1.7.1-0ubuntu1

I seem to think the error is sourcing from the different versions that are available, and seen as usable by strace during dependency evaluation.
How can I specify a minimal version in the appimage-builder.yaml for dependency libindi-data, so that it picks the 1.8.7 only?
I can see libnova is written libnova-0.16-0 in the include list, but that format is AFAIK undocumented.

The following docker images need to be put to diet:

• appimagecrafters/test-env:archlinux
• appimagecrafters/test-env:centos-7

If you're familiar with the systems could you please help.

When I bundled an AppImage depending on Qt 5.12.8 (Ubuntu 20.04), the resulting image did not run on an older system (Ubuntu 18.04), because Qt still tried to load plugin libraries from the system path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins although appimage-builder v0.6.0 created a qt.conf correctly overriding the plugin path.

The resulting error is:
"Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50905) with this library (version 0x50c08)."
and execution stops right after LD_DEBUG=libs showed loading of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/styles/libqgtk2style.so.

The contents of qt.conf in AppDir/usr/bin/ is:

[Paths]
Prefix=../..
Settings=../../etc
Libraries=usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

(btw. I suppose that Settings=../../etc should read Setting=etc ??? but that does not influence this bug)

Docker build stopped to work for me for some reason, still works for other colleagues. Any ideas? Error is following:

Version: I believe v0.7.9

(It's the latest version as of reporting, and I ran sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder.git to get it today)

The appimage-builder --generate project runs no problem: https://i.imgur.com/V47rCQT.png

And it spits out the following yml:

But when you run appimage-builder like the tutorial states, you get:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

If I remove the allow_unauthenticated: true, I get a lot of different errors that seem to relate to public key's not being available, but this part of the tutorial doesn't make sense to me so I can't fix it myself:

To make an ubuntu keyring url you can use the following snippet, replace by the value that comes after the NO_PUBKEY in the appimage-builder output:

http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x
http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3B4FE6ACC0B21F32

(But I'm not sure where to put that snippet)

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS x86_64
Kernel: 5.4.0-48-generic

Currently app/appimage version needs to be hard-coded in the manifest like this:

AppDir:
  path: build.appimage/AppDir

  app_info:
    id: org.zealdocs.Zeal
    name: zeal
    icon: zeal
    version: 0.6.1 #  <-- hard-coded version
    exec: usr/bin/zeal
    exec_args: $@

I am trying to create a pipeline for producing AppImage packages for each CI build. In this scenario version is not known upfront but rather is calculated by git describe. It would be great if there was an option to read the version value from the environment so it could be set in the script section.

When the apt-get update action is executed part of the configuration is taken from the host system. This will make, in some cases, that the packages metadata (icons, desktop files and file lists) is downloaded. While this is something required for regular system it's useless when building an AppImage.

Setting Dir::Etc::SourceParts doesn't seem to help.
