Reactor Scram 023c885967 refactor(linux-client): extract all code to firezone-client-tunnel (#4448)
Refs #3713 

With this, the deb package for the Linux GUI Client contains a build of
the Linux CLI Client, at `/usr/bin/firezone-client-tunnel`. Future PRs
can add IPC to the code.

There is also a Windows stub, since Windows will eventually need a
tunnel process and a CLI Client.

In the future we might need to move or rename things, since the CLI
Clients and tunnel binaries for both Linux and Windows may all share
code or at least architecture. For now there is a slight duplication
with this being built as both "Firezone Client Tunnnel" and "Firezone
Linux Client"

gui-client

This crate houses a GUI client for Linux and Windows.

Setup (Ubuntu)

To compile natively for x86_64 Linux:

  1. Install rustup
  2. Install pnpm
  3. sudo apt-get install at-spi2-core gcc libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libssl-dev libgtk-3-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev pkg-config xvfb

Setup (Windows)

To compile natively for x86_64 Windows:

  1. Install rustup
  2. Install pnpm

(From Tauri's default README)

Building

Builds are best started from the frontend tool pnpm. This ensures typescript and css is compiled properly before bundling the application.

See the package.json script for more details as to what's going on under the hood.

# Builds a release exe
pnpm build

# Linux:
# The release exe and deb package are up in the workspace.
stat ../target/release/firezone
stat ../target/release/bundle/deb/*.deb

# Windows:
# The release exe and MSI installer should be up in the workspace.
# The exe can run without being installed
stat ../target/release/Firezone.exe
stat ../target/release/bundle/msi/Firezone_0.0.0_x64_en-US.msi

Running

From this dir:

# This will start the frontend tools in watch mode and then run `tauri dev`
pnpm dev

# You can call debug subcommands on the exe from this directory too
# e.g. this is equivalent to `cargo run -- debug hostname`
cargo tauri dev -- -- debug hostname

# The exe is up in the workspace
stat ../target/debug/Firezone.exe

The app's config and logs will be stored at C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Local\dev.firezone.client.

Platform support

Ubuntu 20.04 and newer is supported.

Tauri says it should work on Windows 10, Version 1803 and up. Older versions may work if you manually install WebView2

x86_64 architecture is supported at this time. See this issue for aarch64 support.
