I've fixed all the previous problems with my scripts

[theofficialgman]

pi-apps prefers global installation of applications when possible. please refer to many other scripts that install globally

#download server
wget -O server.AppImage https://github.com/NoozAbooz/mcpi-reborn-extended/releases/download/${version}/minecraft-pi-reborn-server-2.4.8-arm64.AppImage || error "failed to download server"

correct URL to use version variable in appimage

[theofficialgman]

also please stop closing and opening new issues. that is unnecessary

if you want the github actions automated preview of the zipfile to change (instead of getting a new comment made), you can edit the body of the initial post to use your new zip

alright i fixed the url it should be good to go now

[theofficialgman]

again, there are still multiple issues. the use of apt directly inside of scripts is banned for almost all cases (refer again to our official script writing wiki linked to you before). also we prefer that global installations be done when possible (which is the case here) so you need to change to doing that.

what do you mean by that?

local to the current user: ~, $HOME, /home/$USER. Don't use these global: anywhere outside of the users home directory.

just pick any random pi-apps script type install to look at. the majority are global install based (eg: pixelorama https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/Pixelorama/install )

It's still saving everything in the user's home directory. The reason why this matters is for Pi systems that have multiple users. We try to make the app install in a way that all users can run the program. Your script makes it only possible for the current user to see the program, because other users cannot access files in the current user's home folder.

And that is the problem: All app files are being saved to the current user's home folder, rather than to a global location. ~/.local/share/applications is a local location, which can only be accessed by the currently logged in user. ~/.local/bin/mcpi_server is a local location, which can only be accessed by the currently logged in user. If my Pi has two user accounts and I login as user etaprime and install Minecraft Pi Server, I should be able to login as leepsp and still be able to run Minecraft Pi Server.

You should find the global equivalents to these locations, like /usr/share/applications or /usr/local/bin. It will require sudo to add files to these locations, but there are many good examples of pi-apps scripts doing it this way. Take another look at the Pixelorama app please. https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/Pixelorama/install

oh that makes sense i updated it to work that way thats a good idea to make it global for all users

[theofficialgman]

Minecraft Pi Server/wget-log.1 looks like you have multiple stray logfiles in your zip

[kidmakesreal]

Minecraft Pi Server/wget-log.1 looks like you have a stray logfile in your zip

oops sorry i fixed that

[theofficialgman]

this is local ~/.local/share/applications

Icon=$HOME/pi-apps/apps/Minecraft Pi Server/icon-64.png this won't work for users that have pi-apps located elsewhere. refer to this again -> https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/Pixelorama/install

#update os
sudo apt-get update

again, pi-apps does not allow apps to use apt directly except under specific circumstances.

also your uninstall script needs correcting

also you need to enable the fuse module since this is an appimage. You can look at Musescore to see how to do this https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/apps/MuseScore/install

[theofficialgman]

also @Botspot what are your thoughts on the actions bot here. Do you like that it edits the initial comment zip preview when the user edits their initial post or would it be clearer if it always made a new post (which would show up at the bottom)?

If you have other ideas I am all ears.

what is the fuse module for?

[theofficialgman]

also you need to enable the fuse module since this is an appimage

-> also you need to enable the fuse module since this is an appimage

using google "fuse appimage" -> "AppImages require FUSE version 2 to run. Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a system that lets non-root users mount filesystems."

@theofficialgman, I think this issue in particular has shown how effective the bot can be for cases when a PR would be a bit much. I would recommend that in the future we advise the app-submitter to not edit their original post with a new zip, but instead post a new zip, for the bot to then reply with the zip preview. To prevent the page from getting too lengthy, I would recommend wrapping the preview in <details> tags, as seen on the README.

@Botspot there is no reason we need to tell users which method to do. Before this commit https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/commit/f6defd402dfb801cc6fb1f3a6b2ca68b72431c3c the bot would make a new post every time even if the edited the original post. I can revert to that while also implementing the hidden text

[theofficialgman]

also I'd personally prefer if the enable fuse module was placed directly after the version variable. that way if it fails then you aren't left with an unuseable application unless the user does an uninstall.

also you need a purge_packages in your uninstall if you have an enable_module

[theofficialgman]

@kidmakesreal you don't need to edit both the original post and make a new one with the zip. as per botspot's revised recommendations just make the new post.

" > /usr/share/applications/mcpi_server.desktop

still not fixed... refer again -> https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/issues/2437#issuecomment-1703949187 also you have not updated install-64 to match install-32

I suggest you take a bit longer to digest and understand what we have been telling you to do rather than trying to solve the problem as quickly as possible and messing up. Think through what the commands are actually doing. There is no rush here, it won't be added today (or even this weekend likely) anyway.

ok sorry ill try harder

[theofficialgman]

ok sorry ill try harder

Don't worry about it. Nobody expects someone to become and expert on day one. Just make sure to give yourself time to digest and think about it.

We just have guidelines (some explicitly written down in our documentation and some implied) at pi-apps that we want all new scripts to follow.

[kidmakesreal]

i cant get the global installation to work is it cool if i just make it install locally?

[kidmakesreal]

i think it would be better if the server folder was located in the home directory anyway due to then fact that to configure the server you have to change the server.properties file in the server folder and it would overcomplicate things for the user to have to be root to access it

[theofficialgman]

is there are reason why you chose to use the appimages from the release instead of the armhf/arm64 debs available?

all release types create their configuration files in the home directory as normal so that is a non-issue

i've fixed all the previous errors in my scripts it should be all good now

[theofficialgman]

sudo echo "[Desktop Entry]
Name=Minecraft Pi Server
Exec=/usr/share/mcpi_server/server.AppImage
Comment=Multiplayer Server
Terminal=true
Icon=$(dirname "$0")/icon-64.png
Type=Application
Categories=Game;
"

no .desktop file is created. this simply echos to the terminal. Writing to a .desktop file in a root owned location can be performed with a combination echo and | sudo tee command as seen in other scripts

[kidmakesreal]

it gives me this error unless i run in root "bash: mcpi_server.desktop: Permission denied"
