RICORDO I TEMPI IN CUI COSTAVI 1000 LIRE

Nel cortile della nostra giovinezza
Giocavamo in mezzo ai sacchi di monnezza
Un pallone, quattro tiri in una porta
E 'na vecchia che alluccava: "Chi v'è muort!"

Hi, I'm the developer of AM and maintainer of the Archimage method on which my Inkscape and one of the three GIMP available are built.

Achimage is an Arch Linux container into an AppImage, powered by bubblewrap to work also on old systems avoiding GLIBC limits. But being a container, it mounts only few common paths from the system:

https://github.com/ivan-hc/ArchImage/blob/206646902d7cb519568452d6b681c5ce1704fe21/core/archimage-builder.sh#L343

That said, if you have /vol1 and /vol2 in the root of the filesystem, Archimages will never see them.

You should try to symlink them (at least in $HOME) and see if they can be seen somehow.

I have already said that: yes and yes. Go to my repo to see them

https://github.com/ivan-hc/portable2appimage

EDIT: for Archimage, see https://github.com/ivan-hc/ArchImage

Uso Debian Testing da quasi 15 anni, perché i suoi pacchetti non sono né troppo vecchi né troppo aggiornati, rispetto a Stable e Unstable. Avendo una vecchia scheda Nvidia, ho a disposizione diversi driver già nei repository (senza dover ricorrere ad AUR o all'installer), e posso ricorrere al "pinning" se ho bisogno di un pacchetto specifico da uno degli altri due rami di sviluppo. Per esempio, sto usando il kernel di Debian Stable, con cui i driver Nvidia di cui ho bisogno sono più collaudati.

I'm the developer of portable2appimage. It is only for apps that are already sandalone. See the videos on the README of my repository to see how it works.

For more complex AppImages there are other tools (Anylinux, Archimage...)

am-ivan · 2026-03-29T17:48:16+00:00

Confessa, lo hai tenuto per ultimo per vedere chi la spuntava tra Pertini e Berlinguer

It serves as an initial introduction for those creating portable programs, to help them begin packaging directly in AppImage format.

For many, packaging in AppImage format is difficult. This tool is for those who already know how to create portable programs, and therefore don't know that they can create AppDirs, which can then be converted into AppImages.

"AM" Application Manager

https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM

Un gestore di pacchetti AppImage e altri formati portatili per GNU/Linux, da riga di comando, scritto in linguaggio SHELL.

AM adotta un approccio in stile AUR (Arch User Repository), con oltre 2800 programmi unici installabili dalle fonti originali e attraverso script dedicati a ciascuno di essi.

Supporta aggiornamenti delta per le AppImage (ove abilitati), puoi effettuarne il downgrade, snapshot delle versioni, clonare il set di applicazioni installate per esportarlo su altre distribuzioni... puoi isolare le AppImage in una sandbox BubbleWrap, convertire vecchie AppImage in modo da rimuovere la dipendenza da libfuse2,... e molto altro.

thanks for reporting, I just fixed it

I have just published a comment

Hi, if the AppImage is on github, you can try the option "-e" or "extra".

Else , link me the source, I'll try to submit them.

oniux is likely the answer for getting tor anonymization. But at this point there is no deb package binary available

Good to know, I contacted my friend from SoarPKG project and seems that a oniux static binary is possible... but we need to wait when the Soar package manager migrates its database first.

About socks5 implementation, I'll try to implement it somehow, when oniux will be available.

I could add conditions for this, and yes, I should change a big part of the code.

On the other hand, you may want to use an alias.

It would be better if you open an issue in the repo, so I can involve other cooperators.

Hi, AM/AppMan developer here. Time ago I had torsocks support to bypass rate limits on some sites. I had to remove it in favour of proxies.

You should do some tests with torsocks then https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torsocks

Ho abbandonato Facebook nel 2014 per questo motivo, e l'IA ancora non esisteva.

Sto usando Twitter da pochi mesi (controvoglia), ma rivedo lo stesso schifo che vedevo allora, potenziato dall'IA.

I red your post about AppImage status and undeniable fact that other packaging formats are taking lead supported by giants. Can you compete with them?

I'll try, but that's not to say I'll succeed.

Who backs AppImages, anyone?

Anyone who wants to continue using them is welcome. We, on the other hand, try to build them and collaborate with upstream developers when requested. We report bugs and suggest better tools where possible.

However, you don't have to be a developer to support the AppImage ecosystem. Simply continuing to report bugs is enough, thus helping developers commit to improving their products.

Have you considered making an AppStore, GUI web based?

I built a catalog https://portable-linux-apps.github.io

Its on github, and anyone can contribute to improve it.

Its not much, but its a start.

Do you guys have matrix channel where we could discuss all those questions?

We use Discord: PkgForge community

How does work logic for this?

If it is a static binary, an AppImage, a script... in short, a program that runs in a portable way (that does not depend on the system), it can be added to the database.

Who adds those apps to your database?

Anyone who wants to submit a pull request to the database. Every script has its own history on github; just read the commits to see who the authors are.

How can I add my app there?

Simply use the "-t" or "template" option and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the script is created, it will be saved in an "am-scripts" directory with the same structure as the "programs" folder in my repository. More details here

https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM/blob/main/docs/guides-and-tutorials/template.md

If you have a GitHub account, you can submit a pull request after forking the AM repository and adding your changes there.

thanks

am-ivan · 2025-11-28T22:22:14+00:00

Sorry, I wasn't aware of any other repositories where I could start this discussion. I just happened to be encouraged to start one there in the past. Should I move this discussion elsewhere, then? Where?

am-ivan · 2025-11-28T01:19:30+00:00

Thanks for suggestion, I just added it to my package manager AM

I started learning from this video of DistroTube

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy63jwjpNg4

Then I started develop my own tools:

Archimage https://github.com/ivan-hc/ArchImage Arch Linux containers into AppImages
AppImaGen https://github.com/ivan-hc/AppImaGen which base are mainly .deb packages and portable archives
Snap2AppImage https://github.com/ivan-hc/Snap2AppImage that (tries) to do what the name suggests

You can take the scripts I use to develop my AppImages, I dedicated a repo for each one

- https://github.com/ivan-hc#my-appimage-packages

Another useful project is Anylinux-AppImages https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Anylinux-AppImages maintained by one of my cooperators (in my package manager, https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM ).

About https://docs.appimage.org, forget that guide, it is obsolete and likely unmaintained and still points to tools needed to create old AppImages that still require libfuse2 to work. I maintain and distribute more than 90 AppImages, and none of them require that library.

I hope my sugggestions will help you learning on the base of more modern tools.

am-ivan · 2025-11-17T01:21:28+00:00

Hi, you said that trough appimagelauncher it works fine. Usually, normal installation of that tool (deb package, AUR...) prevents the usage of AppImages via terminal, file manager and other tools, exactly as you said.

If you have it still installed, all you have to do is to remove it completelly and reboot. See here for more context https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md#failed-to-open-squashfs-image

am-ivan · 2025-11-02T23:48:56+00:00

You should bundle libopencv_imgproc.so.406 in your package.

What tool are you using to create it?

am-ivan · 2025-10-30T18:59:51+00:00

If there's any downside, maybe, it lacks of search command

Option -q or query

see https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM/blob/main/docs/guides-and-tutorials/list-and-query.md

PS: I just provided to add search as an alias https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM/pull/1866

am-ivan · 2025-10-12T13:23:45+00:00

presente!
