ungoogled-chromium-portablelinux

Portable Linux build and packaging for ungoogled-chromium to be published in the ungoogled-chromium-binaries web page found here.

Note that the builds are executed on an debian:bullseye docker image again, so the release's binaries work again on e.g. ubuntu 20.04 and maybe other 'older' systems :)

building

execute docker-build.sh script in the root dir. This will

• build a debian-based docker image with all needed llvm, nodejs and distro packages to build chromium
• start the docker image, mounts the current dir and runs build.sh in it, which executes the actual build process on ungoogled-chromium (mainly: download chromium source tar, unpack and patch it, setup build env and execute ninja build on the result).

Note that the build takes several hours (about 8 hous on my computer) and consumes about 15G of disk space (you may delete the build dir AFTER PACKAGING, see packaging)

The script has a switch -c wether to fetch a chromium tarball (defualt) or to clone the chromium code (-c): ./docker-build.sh -c. This is useful when for some reasons the tarball is not (yet) available.

I do not recommend to call build.sh directly. This will only work if you have a debian or ubuntu installation with all the packages installed and at the same place in the filesystem on your machine as in the docker image. It's the idea behind this docker-based build that you do NOT need to manipulate your own linux installation to build ungoogled-chromium.

packaging

After building, enter the package directory and excute package.sh. Alternatively, you may execute docker-package.sh, building a docker image similar to docker-build.sh. These will create a tar.xz and an AppImage file in the root dir for your personal use. It takes about 2-3 minutes.
