WeKan AppImage

wekan/wekan/blob/main/.github/workflows/AppImage.yml

name: AppImage

# Build WeKan as an AppImage for every CPU an AppImage runtime exists for, and
# attach them to a WeKan release. The ordinary full-release path calls this
# workflow from release-all.yml with the exact tag after its core bundles are
# published; workflow_dispatch remains available for rebuilding an AppImage.
#
# WHAT IS INSIDE IS WHAT WEKAN ALREADY SHIPS. release-all.yml already produces a
# bundle that runs offline with nothing installed: the Meteor server (main.js),
# the bundled Node.js the release was built against, the wekan/FerretDB v1 fork
# with its embedded pure-Go SQLite backend, the wekan/mongo-tools-patches binaries, the
# cpu-exec/qemu-user shim from #6458, and start-wekan.sh to bring them up. That
# bundle is already relocatable and already self-contained - it is the offline
# zip people download today - so this workflow does NOT rebuild WeKan. It takes
# the wekan-<version>-<arch>.zip off the release and wraps it, which means the
# AppImage is byte-for-byte the same server, Node and FerretDB as the zip beside
# it rather than a second build that might differ.
#
# So there is no MongoDB to install, no Node to install, and no database server
# to run: FerretDB v1 keeps everything in SQLite files under the AppImage's data

Nice work! Having WeKan available as a self-contained AppImage makes installation much easier, especially for offline use.

Yes. Difference is 1 file vs 38792 files.

oh my! I don’t think you’re being ambitious enough

Oh sorry, I will fix that, I’ll be more ambitious.

These problems are now fixed, with Meteor 3 WeKan FerretDB SQLite

FerretDB SQLite (was: No support for SQLite yet. I need it for Sandstorm etc.)
AppImage one executeable with Meteor FerretDB SQLite (was: bundle has 42k files. I need one executeable, like FreePascal)
All dependencies updated (was: RSPack 2.0 is not yet available)
Bundle/Snap/Docker/Sandstorm upgraded to newest (was: I need to be able to upgrade Snap from 6.09 to newest, by directly using MongoDB 3)
Node.js build for many additional CPU (was: Node.js does not support armhf, armv7, 680x0, etc. So I’m still looking for programming language that would run at all of my devices)
Most bugs fixed. Remaining are mostly feature requests, that need additional design decisions.

These are not yet fixed

[_] UCS platform not updated yet
[_] Not yet version for no-js no-cookie (was: I need support for Netsurf, Amiga IBrowse, etc all browsers. Not require cookies and js, like FreePascal version of this)
[_] No 680x0 yet
[_] Not yet building offline (was: I need to be able to build offline. And not download half the Internet when building)
