AppImages won't work with process splitting. (#3713) As far as I can tell, they just produce one binary. Internally they use FUSE or something to mount a squashfs image, but that image won't be able to hook into systemd and run with root permissions and everything. I don't think it's practical, and Tauri's AppImage bundling doesn't have the features for it. Even their deb bundler doesn't have any way to specify a path for a daemon to be installed. The sidecar feature only seems intended for the GUI app to call, not anything else on the system. (There is such a thing as installing AppImages, but I don't think it's worth pursuing - We should just do debs)
gui-client
This crate houses a GUI client for Linux and Windows.
Setup (Ubuntu)
To compile natively for x86_64 Linux:
- Install rustup
- Install pnpm
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:
- Install rustup
- Install pnpm
Recommended IDE Setup
(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.
