+ pkgs.appimageTools
+
+
+ pkgs.appimageTools is a set of functions for extracting and wrapping
+ AppImage files.
+
+ They are meant to be used if traditional packaging from source is infeasible, or it would take too long.
+ To quickly run an AppImage file, pkgs.appimage-run can be used as well.
+
+
+
+
+ The appimageTools API is unstable and may be subject to
+ backwards-incompatible changes in the future.
+
+
+
+
+
+ AppImage formats
+
+
+ There are different formats for AppImages, see
+ the specification for details.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Type 1 images are ISO 9660 files that are also ELF executables.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Type 2 images are ELF executables with an appended filesystem.
+
+
+
+
+
+ They can be told apart with file -k:
+
+
+
+$ file -k type1.AppImage
+type1.AppImage: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'AppImage' (Lepton 3.x), scale 0-0,
+spot sensor temperature 0.000000, unit celsius, color scheme 0, calibration: offset 0.000000, slope 0.000000, dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=d629f6099d2344ad82818172add1d38c5e11bc6d, stripped\012- data
+
+$ file -k type2.AppImage
+type2.AppImage: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) (Lepton 3.x), scale 232-60668, spot sensor temperature -4.187500, color scheme 15, show scale bar, calibration: offset -0.000000, slope 0.000000 (Lepton 2.x), scale 4111-45000, spot sensor temperature 412442.250000, color scheme 3, minimum point enabled, calibration: offset -75402534979642766821519867692934234112.000000, slope 5815371847733706829839455140374904832.000000, dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=79dcc4e55a61c293c5e19edbd8d65b202842579f, stripped\012- data
+
+
+
+ Note how the type 1 AppImage is described as an ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem, and the type 2 AppImage is not.
+
+
+
+
+ Wrapping
+
+
+ Depending on the type of AppImage you're wrapping, you'll have to use
+ wrapType1 or wrapType2.
+
+
+
+
+appimageTools.wrapType2 { # or wrapType1
+ name = "patchwork";
+ src = fetchurl {
+ url = https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork/releases/download/v3.11.4/Patchwork-3.11.4-linux-x86_64.AppImage;
+ sha256 = "1blsprpkvm0ws9b96gb36f0rbf8f5jgmw4x6dsb1kswr4ysf591s";
+ };
+ extraPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs; [ ];
+}
+
+
+
+
+
+ name specifies the name of the resulting image.
+
+
+
+
+ src specifies the AppImage file to extract.
+
+
+
+
+ extraPkgs allows you to pass a function to include additional packages
+ inside the FHS environment your AppImage is going to run in.
+
+ There are a few ways to learn which dependencies an application needs:
+
+
+
+
+ Looking through the extracted AppImage files, reading its scripts and running patchelf and ldd on its executables.
+ This can also be done in appimage-run, by setting APPIMAGE_DEBUG_EXEC=bash.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Running strace -vfefile on the wrapped executable, looking for libraries that can't be found.
+
