0ad appimage

Unofficial 0ad AppImage (built from official sources and data)

Click on the releases link to view available appimages.

To access the ActorEditor, you'll need to create a symbolic link:

cd /path/to/<Appimage-File>
ln -s <Appimage-File> ActorEditor

You can optionally create symbolic links for 0ad and pyrogenesis if desired:

ln -s <Appimage-File> 0ad
ln -s <Appimage-File> pyrogenesis

Build locally

You can build the appimage locally if you have docker installed. While in the repo root, to build the latest stable version, run:

./make-appimage.sh

or to build an svn snapshot:

VERSION=0.0.27-svn-unstable ./make-appimage.sh

Version strings for stable releases are typically in the format:

0.0.26-alpha
0.0.25b-alpha
0.0.27-rc1-xxxxx-alpha (for release candidates)

To build on a different version of Ubuntu, precede the script with the codename, e.g.

UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy ./make_appimage.sh

(valid values are bionic, focal, or jammy)

To speed up the process, prior to running the above script, copy the source and data archives (e.g., 0ad-0.0.26-alpha-unix-{build,data}.tar.xz) to the repo root (otherwise they'll be downloaded during the script execution).

If choosing the svn version, the svn repository will be checked out, unless you aleady have it in the repo root.

HOWTO change versions after a 0 A.D. release

When running from the GitHub CI, change the VERSION string near the top of appimage.yml.

If running the make-appimage.sh script locally, change the default VERSION string near the top of make-appimage.sh.

In either case, you may also need to change the minisign key near the top of workflow.sh.

To customize and publish the docker image (see the Dockerfile in this repo) to your own Docker Hub account, you'll need to add a couple secrets to your repository. See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/publishing-docker-images
