I'm not promising anything but I will give it a try on Linux.

Here is a WIP PKGBUILD for Arch Linux users:
https://gist.github.com/andreldm/9f4fcda1674245d2f8abcde777f8db1c

Just download all files and run makepkg -si.
Note: Any feel free to take this PKGBUILD and push to AUR as I don't use Medis, I friend of mine was playing with Redis and I came across this project, made it work on my machine and showed it to him. End of story.

from medis.

Thank you @darky, you pinged me at the right moment! 👍

Unfortunately, it's not working for me (tried with the master branch):

I have this blank window and nothing happens...

EDIT: Same on the mas branch)

from medis.

Arch users can install it from AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/medis/

from medis.

I've tested it on Linux Mint 18.3 with Node.js 8.9.3 and it works perfectly:

Moreover, here's a suggestion for users - you can also create a cinnamon main menu entry if you don't want to start it by typing npm run electron in the project folder:

You can use the icon in ./icns/Icon1024.png.

I've placed my git clone in /opt, just make sure to use the appropriate paths on your system.

Bottom line is, yes, creating linux packages would be great, but not easy to maintain on the long term, since there are so many distros out there.

The vast majority of the linux users are tech-savvy enough and will most certainly know how to start it from the command line and/or even create an appropriate launcher for the specific platform flavor they're using.

from medis.

I submitted a PR in regards to this issue, linux user can package the app and move it anywhere you want.
Also fixed icons under linux.
#123

from medis.

Just FYI, RDM now supports OpenSUSE

from medis.

Any update? Just found this and while I love using it on my Mac, at home where I am using Windows I miss the application dearly.

from medis.

I ran this on Ubuntu 18.04 using the PR by @hiimdoublej and I see weird font rendering issues. Is this simply some sort of missing font? I don't see any errors or warnings on the terminal.

from medis.

Don't you ever try rdm?

from medis.

@slavaGanzin Qt too heavy, and RedisDesktopManager not support OpenSUSE. I need try to fix the configure file.

from medis.

It's not hard to support Linux and Windows since Medis is built on top of the Electron. I'll find some time to write a build script so that we can release a cross-platform version next time.

from medis.

@luin good news! thx!

from medis.

This would be very welcome! 👍 Thanks for the great work.

from medis.

Hello !
Waiting too the GNU/Linux version :)
And as @mingjunyang on OpenSuse, I also hope a RPM package ( Fedora ). RedisDesktopManager doesn't provide it, and Medis could may be have this advantage too on RDM :)

from medis.

Sorry for the delay. A little busy these days 🚴 😿. I built a Windows version successfully several days ago. The hardest part is to write a build script so that we can build OS X/Linux/Windows versions automatically every time we publish a new release.
I found module https://github.com/maxogden/electron-packager should make things easier, but I don't have time at this moment. I'll revisit this issue in one or two weeks. Pull request is welcome BTW 😆.

from medis.

Thanks for the update! It's funny, because I discovered that module yesterday too, which reminded me of this project. 😁 No hurry, we're all busy with various projects, I know the feeling. 😩

from medis.

Just an update for this issue. I opened a pull request of using electron-packager for packaging (#21). For now, electron-packager doesn't support building Mac App Store version, so I'll wait for the releasing of 6.0 (https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/blob/master/NEWS.md) before merge this pull request.

from medis.

electron-packager 7.0 is just released. https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/releases

from medis.

That's fast. I'm working on it.

from medis.

any update, guys? waiting for Ubuntu ... 😕

from medis.

@luin any update on this?

from medis.

@luin any new update?

from medis.

@luin if you need help, just ask

from medis.

Sorry for the delay! A little busy these months. It would be great if anyone likes to contribute the package scripts for Linux and Windows. Let me know if any help is needed.

BTW, My workmate and I use Medis as part of our everyday workflow, so I'll definitely continue to bring bugfixes and new features when I have time (hopefully next month). Thank you for using Medis!

from medis.

@luin can you confirm that all which would need to be changed is the build scripts? No js changes necessary?

from medis.

@markasoftware I tried running Medis on Windows two months ago and I was able to get it run without any modification on js code.

from medis.

@andreldm Yup. It's just working without any issues on Ubuntu 16.04

from medis.

Which tag/branch?

Edit: mas branch.

from medis.

@mathieumg I've used master branch.

from medis.

For anyone wishing to use the app right now, it's as easy as:

1. git clone https://github.com/luin/medis or download the repository zip
2. npm install
3. npm run run
4. Profit 😎

Now for me instead npm run run -> npm run electron

from medis.

FYI I'm running Debian Jessie.

I have installed Node 4.x and doing the npm install command fails with:

npm ERR! Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! node v4.8.4

Upgrading Node to 6.x make it working like @darky described.

from medis.

Hi all, FastoRedis works perfectly on all Linux systems.

from medis.

good job!

from medis.

Could this be published as a snap / flatpak package? That could alleviate some of the packaging issues across distros

from medis.

@rathboma I have yet to encounter this bug that you're facing, with that being said I'll be happy to merge your PR on this issue in my fork, since the author of this project does not seem to accept PRs anymore. As for snap / flatpak, I'll look into it if I got some time to spare.
