How to build a Linux AppImage of Maid Kit for a workstation with Maid Kit

Compile the Linux release bundle and pack it into a single portable MaidKit-x86_64.AppImage file.

Who it is forA Linux admin who wants to copy one portable file to other workstations instead of building Flutter on each machine.

The problemRunning the app on several Linux machines means repeating the Flutter build and dependency setup each time.

The outcomeA file named MaidKit-x86_64.AppImage that runs Maid Kit on another x64 Linux machine.

What you need first

  • Flutter SDK installed (SDK ^3.12.2)
  • SSH access to the target server with a working login
  • For Linux builds: the apt packages listed in the README (ninja-build, libgtk-3-dev, libayatana-appindicator3-dev, keybinder-3.0, libnotify-dev)
  • A Solarpass account if you want MaidCafe Cloud features

Steps

  1. Install the Linux dependencies from the README: sudo apt-get update -y, then sudo apt-get install -y ninja-build libgtk-3-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev keybinder-3.0 libnotify-dev. (inferred, check the README)
  2. flutter pub get
  3. flutter build linux
  4. bash buildtools/build-appimage.sh
  5. Copy MaidKit-x86_64.AppImage to a second x64 Linux machine and launch it.

Prompt for your agent

In the Solsynth/MaidKit repo, run `flutter build linux` and then `bash buildtools/build-appimage.sh`. Expected output: a file named MaidKit-x86_64.AppImage in the repo directory. Verify that the file exists and is non-empty before copying it to <target-machine>.

Caveat. The README describes the AppImage script as packing the x64 release bundle, so builds for other CPU types are not covered by these steps.
