Docker build stopped to work for me about appimage-builder HOT 9 CLOSED

# chmod +x /opt/appimagetool
# cd /opt/;
# /opt/appimagetool --appimage-extract
bash: /opt/appimagetool: No such file or directory
# ls
appimagetool

which is weird.

Can you verify if wget is downloading the file properly, Github API limits may be affecting you.

How? According to messages in console - downloaded fine:

Seems same problem was here: AppImageCommunity/pkg2appimage#373
However solution is not clear to me.

That's used to run the AppImage without extracting it. In the script you're running the AppImage is extracted before attempting to use it. This is done precisely to work around the docker issue. I've tried your script locally and it works as expected.

However solution is not clear to me.

They are removing the AppImage magic bytes, those are set (by desing) in a wrong position and some interpreters fail to understand it.

Yeah, this hack helped: AppImageCommunity/pkg2appimage#373 (comment) - add it to Your doc here: install-in-a-docker-container, @azubieta :

RUN wget https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/download/continuous/appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage -O /opt/appimagetool \
    && chmod +x /opt/appimagetool \
    && cd /opt/; sed -i 's|AI\x02|\x00\x00\x00|' appimagetool; /opt/appimagetool --appimage-extract \ 
    && mv /opt/squashfs-root /opt/appimagetool.AppDir \
    && ln -s /opt/appimagetool.AppDir/AppRun /usr/local/bin/appimagetool \
    && pip3 install appimage-builder

I've tried your script locally and it works as expected.

It also works fine on our CI in docker, however suddenly stopped to work on my local machine: I can''t extract or run appimagetool directly - whatever. This magic sed helped locally.

Done, thanks for the help!

The magic bytes issue should be solved in AppImage v3. When ever that happens.
