Linux support

[funkymonkeymonk]

Are there any showstopping blockers to working on linux? It looks like a pretty handy tool and I'd love to try it out.

Kitematic is written in node-webkit so there aren't really any big blockers. A few of the binaries included like unison would need to be swapped out for a linux version. Some of the file paths would need to be updated as well. I'll follow up with more details once some of the pressing bugs (installer!) are patched.

Best part about Linux is no requirement on VirtualBox :)

i just tried something here as a starting point https://github.com/deepak1556/kitematic/tree/linux

It looks like the dev environment is a running meteor server. Do you feel it would be a good idea to set up a Dockerfile which installs the dependencies via the package manager, and runs the dev environment? That seems like a first step and would allow both linux and OSX users to dev/work in the same environment.

Try looking at shipyard deploy as an example of what I'm thinking.

Wow! Awesome demand for Linux :smiley:

Questions for everyone regarding Linux support:

• Would .deb and .rpm packages be best (similar to Atom)?
• Would it make sense to run the Docker daemon on the Linux host itself? Or using some sort of virtualization via QEMU-KVM or VirtualBox paravirtualization (coming in VBox 5.0)?

[ChristopheBoucaut]

Just a .deb for me it's good but i think it's better to have both =)

I prefer to run the docker daemon on the Linux host itself.

[seltzlab]

1. .deb and .rpm makes sense but you should provide a binary distribution too
2. personally I'd prefer on the Linux host
