A Go implementation of AppImage packaging tools, including appimagetool for building AppImages from AppDirs and appimaged, a daemon that integrates AppImages into the Linux desktop. It supports automatic delta updates via zsync when built on GitHub Actions.
Use cases
- convert an AppDir into an AppImage
- bundle Qt or GTK dependencies into a portable Linux app
- integrate AppImages into the system menu with icons
- enable delta updates for AppImages on GitHub Releases
- build portable Linux binaries without shared library issues
When to choose
- you distribute Linux desktop applications as AppImages
- you want static, dependency-free packaging tools
- you need automatic zsync delta updates via GitHub Actions
When to avoid
- you target Windows or macOS packaging
- you need Flatpak or Snap instead of AppImage
- you require the full original C-based AppImage toolset
