Launch apps using appimage-run for nixos #99

Closed tacostrange closed 1 month ago

tacostrange commented 1 month ago

Nixos requires AppImages to be run with appimage-run Can the option be added to use this interpreter for launching an app?

mijorus commented 1 month ago

I'll work on it

mijorus commented 1 month ago

I have a development build right here, but it's not working for me as the appimage-run utility is available only inside the same terminal session. How does it work on nix os? I don't know this OS, sorry

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/113859/it.mijorus.gearlever.flatpakref

appimage-run gets installed as a system package. You can add the package appimage-run to the configuration file or install it with

nix-env -iA nixos.appimage-run

then 

appimage-run ./ondsel.appimage &

Can you try this development version and see if it works for you?

do you have an estimate on when gear lever 1.6.5 would be released? im thinking of switching to nixos completely when it releases.

mijorus commented 1 month ago
