Distributable #186

Closed torkus closed 4 years ago

torkus commented 4 years ago

to bundle a single distributable of strongbox rather than an uberjar that requires an installed runtime

[x] linux distributable (AppImage)
[ ] ~mac distributable (jpackage)~
[x] investigate exclusions
- :exclusions [sample-exclusion/test-exclusions]
[x] review

self-contained linux image as it stands is 88MB without any optimisations. I suspect I can whittle it down further after I remove swing and possibly webview in javafx (if possible).

Moving on to jpackage and a mac distributable.

2020-10-07 update: with :exclusions I can get it down to 56MB

looks like I can't build a distributable for mac on linux using jpackage, and jpackage can't get the filesize down to less than 193MB. Since OS support for strongbox is already caveated on a mac, I'll just skip it for now and leave it with an uberjar
