  • Looking for a self hosted software store?
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 1 Oct 2022
    Different solutions may be better for the different file types than a single download centre for everything. For example, for APKs, there's f-droid. You could selfhost fdroidserver and add your own repo to the f-droid client. This way, the APKs are distributed via an app store that's searchable and can be configured to auto update.

    They were all on different days. I do test the app on my phone before releasing, and usually only release after not noticing anything for a few days of using the dev version. The reason for the time is a bug in the F-Droid server software that is used to generate the repo. The releases of GitHub have the correct date.

    Note that F-Droid uses algorithm at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/2.1a0/fdroidserver/build.py#L746 to automatically detect built APKs, so ensure any modifications to location or file name are compliant. Auto updates are detected by checkupdates bot at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/master/fdroidserver/checkupdates.py

    Clone the fork onto your local machine. You'd need to use linux or mac (windows doesn't work). Install https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver.
  • Is NewPipe broken?
    2 projects | /r/fossdroid | 8 Jan 2021
    yep, sadly F-droid doesn't have enough people working on it to keep on top of google's "new" app signatures yet. There was some progress, but then I gave up waiting and added their own repo until it's fixed.

    There are a few programs for this, searching for google play command line turns up for example https://github.com/rehmatworks/gplaydl and https://github.com/matlink/gplaycli
  • Playmaker for bridging gPlay apps to fdroid in 2021
    3 projects | /r/MicroG | 25 Mar 2021
    I'm trying to use Matlink's cli solution which uses a Google play api fork, which works better than the original one. I say trying, because I'm facing other issues but there is a Dockerfile linked in the issue that does authenticate correctly when built with the PyPi package, which you can use as a reference. On the other hand however, trying to do use gplaycli in OpenSuse tumbleweed with Python 3.9 fails, so id say the solution is not that robust
