Add junest-export to export applications from Junest to the host quickly #323

Closed ivan-hc closed 7 months ago

ivan-hc commented 1 year ago

Hi, just done a PR at https://github.com/fsquillace/junest/pull/322

This is not much but an idea to improve the Junest's experience.

This is the content of my simple script to export my apps:

https://github.com/ivan-hc/junest/blob/master/bin/junest-export

For more improvements I need a lot of time I've not due to my real job. However I would be happy too if you check and improve this script too.

You can also test my script as a standalone program:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivan-hc/junest/master/bin/junest-export
chmod a+x ./junest-export
./junest-export

Cheers.

Thanks @ivan-hc! Various improvements can be taken by directly looking at the equivalent code in distrobox: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/distrobox-export

Some ideas for anyone willing to look at this work:

Also, adding as reference a related wiki page on how to create such desktop files manually on the host: https://github.com/fsquillace/junest/wiki/How-to-create-desktop-launchers-on-programs-installed-in-JuNest
