ArchImage: my (experimental) side-project to convert Arch Linux programs to AppImages that really work on any distro, old or young... powered by Junest
Arch2AppImage is useless, just like my Arch-Deployer (Arch2AppImage is inspired by my project, see it's README), I've also created an "issue" on its repository to explain why I've abandoned it, see https://github.com/hanzala123/arch2appimage/issues/25 ).
I'm a creator of AppImage packages, the basis always used (and recommended) is to create them based on old distributions for compatibility reasons. With this solution I want to try to break that rule. Both my Arch-deployer and the better known arch2appimage failed at this (and were archived as a result).

Two reasons because Arch-based AppImages are not a good idea
less than two years ago I published a bash script that can that downloads a package from the Arch repository or from ChaoticAUR with all its dependences, and this was a big success for me on this community and on github. Later someone else, inspired by this project, have developed its own tool with a better code and easier to use (DT on YouTube did also a review on it, here). Everithing is great, I'm glad about all this, but... I stopped work on my repo more than 1 year ago (about december 2021) for a reason, the same that I think the developer of arch2appimage have understand later (and I said it into an issue, here), that's why its project have no more commits since 9 months. Arch-based AppImages are not a good idea, here are two reasons:
- MicroOS arch distrobox and AUR
- all dependencies in one package
- LURE: AUR on non-Arch distros

Lamenting What AppImage Could Have Been
If you are in Arch, arch2appimage can easily make packages from Chaotic AUR.
- A Python script to convert any Arch Linux package (official/AUR) to an AppImage
- Arch2appimage- A Python script to convert any Arch Linux Package (official/AUR) to an AppImage
ArchImage
- Archimage 2.0: a tool to create AppImages from Arch Linux packages (supports AUR and ChaoticAUR) that can run also on distros with at least the kernel 2.6 (thanks to JuNest). This new release allows you to create even smoller AppImages.

Build your own ArchImage (Arch Linux-based AppImage based on JuNest) and keep it updates: how to do it!
In primis, see how to install/download archimage-cli at https://github.com/ivan-hc/ArchImage , I've also released a brief video on the README (the main page) of the repository (I use Handbrake as an example). Enjoy your customizations;
- "ArchImage CLI": first release!

Streaming issues with MPV on Arch Linux
I'm creating AppImages based on JuNest (Arch Linux-based distro), at https://github.com/ivan-hc/ArchImage
- AppImage + Arch Linux/AUR packages = ArchImage!

ArchImage: how to build OBS Studio from Arch Linux to any other old/young GNU/Linux distro using JuNest! NOTE: this project needs to be perfected (issues with the AppRun) to made the apps portable. Any help is appreciated!
This is the repo https://github.com/ivan-hc/ArchImage

ArchImage: my (experimental) side-project to convert Arch Linux programs to AppImages that really work on any distro, old or young... powered by Junest
So I merged JuNest and AppImages and I've done ArchImage.
What are some alternatives?
lure-repo - The default repository for LURE
OBS-Studio-appimage - OBS Studio AppImage built on top of JuNest, the lightweight Arch Linux based distro that runs on top of any other Linux distro.
deb-get - apt-get for .debs published via GitHub or direct download 📦
Arch-Deployer - A script to bulk download an Arch Linux package with all its dependencies to be converted in AppImage.
mprweb - Hosting platform for the makedeb Package Repository (MPR)
