:computer: Nextcloud themed desktop client - Moved over to https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop
Theme and build instructions for the Nextcloud desktop client.
Based on https://github.com/owncloud/client/blob/master/doc/building.rst
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nextcloud-devs/client sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nextcloud-client
Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~nextcloud-devs/+archive/ubuntu/client
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nextcloud-devs/client-beta sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nextcloud-client
Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~nextcloud-devs/+archive/ubuntu/client-beta
If you always want the latest versions (including the betas), add both repositories. If you want only the stable version, add the non-beta repository only.
You need to add to
sources.listor a separate source list file one of the source lines below corresponding to your Debian version:
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi/Debian_9.0_update/ / deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi/Debian_9.0/ / deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi/Debian_8.0/ / deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi/Debian_7.0/ /
Before installing, you also need to add the respository's key to the list of trusted APT keys with a command line:
wget -q -O - /Release.key | apt-key add
For example (as root):
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi/Debian_9.0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nextcloud-client.list wget -q -O - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi/Debian_9.0/Release.key | apt-key add - apt-get update apt-get install nextcloud-client
Beta packages are also available:
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi:/beta/Debian_9.0_update/ / deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi:/beta/Debian_9.0/ / deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi:/beta/Debian_8.0/ / deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ivaradi:/beta/Debian_7.0/ /
If you always want the latest versions (including the betas), add both the normal and the beta repositories. If you want only the stable version, add the non-beta repository only.
cd linux snapcraft
Download the snap package for your architecture
bash sudo snap install --dangerous nextcloud-client_*.snapInstalling a snap is very quick. Snaps are secure. They are isolated with all of their dependencies. Snaps also auto update when a new version is released. The snap is confined, thus the synced folders will be by default in
~/snap//, the client can access to the actual home, but not to the
.dottedfiles, use symlinks if you need to.
Run:
bash git submodule update --init --recursive
Run:
# If building on Ubuntu sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev qt5keychain-dev libssl-devAll distributions
mkdir build-linux cd build-linux cmake -D OEM_THEME_DIR=$(realpath ../nextcloudtheme) ../client make sudo make install
Install required packages.
sudo apt-get install git libsqlite3-dev qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev qt5keychain-dev cmake build-essential libowncloudsync0
If you are using Debian 9 install libssl1.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev
If you are using Debian 8 install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Then:
git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/client_theming.git cd client_theming git submodule update --init --recursive mkdir build-linux cd build-linux cmake -D OEM_THEME_DIR=$(realpath ../nextcloudtheme) -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../client make sudo make install
Attention: When building make sure to use an old Core 2 Duo build machine running OS X 10.10. Otherwise the resulting binary won't work properly for users of an older device. Have at least 180 GB free disk space when compiling Qt. Make sure your user is named "builder".
brew install openssl wget cmake
wget https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/releases/download/1.14.0/Sparkle-1.14.0.tar.bz2
tar -xf Sparkle-1.14.0.tar.bz2
mv Sparkle.framework ~/Library/Frameworks/
./bin/generate_keys. Keep those, if you loose it you won't be able to deploy updates anymore.
osx/. Make sure to not make the
dsa_priv.pempublicly available.
Download and compile Qt 5.9.2 source. Unfortunately the Qt patches don't apply anymore, so we just ignore them for the time being.
cd /tmp/ wget http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.9/5.9.2/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.2.tar.xz tar -xjf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.2.tar.xz cd /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.2 ./configure -sdk macosx10.11 -openssl -openssl-linked -I /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/ -L /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/ -nomake examples make -j2 sudo make -j1 install
sh osx/build.sh
The docker image contains the toolchain to build the windows binary. Build it:
docker build -t nextcloud-client-win32: client/admin/win/docker/
Note: if you encounter an error at this step that the MinGW repository was not found, apply the patch at
win/opensuse-mingw-repo-location.patchand try again:
cd client patch -p1 < ../win/opensuse-mingw-repo-location.patch cd ..
docker run -v "$PWD:/home/user/" nextcloud-client-win32:2.2.2 /home/user/win/build.sh $(id -u)
When we build releases there are two additional cmake parameters to consider:
-DMIRALL_VERSION_SUFFIX=: for a generic suffix name such as
betaor
rc1
-DMIRALL_VERSION_BUILD=: an internal build number. Should be strictly increasing. This allows update detection from
rcto
final
Note that this had mostly usage on Windows and OS X. On Linux the package manager will take care of all this.
