I do not maintain any instances of Dorion in any package repositories myself, however some very kind people maintain some in their own spare time:

• Windows:
  • Shovel/Scoop (Maintained by Small-Ku):

    scoop bucket add turbo 'https://github.com/Small-Ku/turbo-bucket.git'
    scoop install turbo/dorion

  • WinGet (Maintained by headquarter8302)

    winget install --id SpikeHD.Dorion

• Linux:
  • Arch AUR (Maintained by YouKnow-sys)

    yay -S dorion-bin

  • NixOS

    nix-shell -p dorion

• MacOS:
  • Homebrew (Maintained by psharma04)

    brew tap psharma04/dorion
    brew install --cask dorion

• Significantly smaller than the original Discord client and other web-based alternatives
• Theme support
• Global push-to-talk and custom keybinds
• Shelter and (optionally) Vencord/Equicord included out of the box
• Full RPC/game presence support included out of the box.
  • This also requires either the shelteRPC or arRPC plugins to be enabled
• (Hopefully) better low-end system performance, YMMV
• ARM support for all platforms
• Feature flags for those who build from source

Dorion comes with shelter, so that should cover at least some plugin-related needs. You can also enable client mods like Vencord inside the Dorion settings page. If you want to install plugins not available within the Dorion settings page, ensure you are downloading a browser-compatible version.

Dorion supports all themes, BetterDiscord and others, with a couple caveats.

Jump to "Using Plugins and Themes"

• NodeJS
• PNPM
• Rust and Cargo
• Tauri prerequisites

1. Clone/download the repository

2. Open a terminal window in the root project folder

3. Install JS dependencies:

   pnpm install

4. Pull the latest shelter build (this is used as a backup if it cannot be fetched on the fly)

   pnpm shupdate

5. Build the updater

   pnpm build:updater

6. Build!

   # Build Dorion...
   pnpm tauri build
   
   # ...or to debug/open in dev mode
   pnpm dev

All built files will be in src-tauri/target/(release|debug)/. Installation files (eg. .msi, .deb) are located in bundle/.

Dorion can link against a system-installed CEF instead of bundling it. Relevant env vars:

• DORION_SHARED_CEF=1 skips scripts/bundle-cef.sh
• NIX_CEF_BINARY=1 (NixOS) has cef-dll-sys link against the CEF from the Nix environment
• FLATPAK=1 points cef-dll-sys at /usr/lib, matching the CEF runtime extension in the Flatpak manifest

The runtime has to resolve libcef.so from the system install, e.g. with an rpath:

# Fedora
RUSTFLAGS="-C link-arg=-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib64/cef"

CEF finds its resources (locales, paks) next to libcef.so, so nothing else is needed!

The system CEF must, however, be at least the version Dorion's cef-dll-sys is pinned at. CEF >= 152 uses API versioning but older CEF requires an exact version match.

The flatpak wraps the linux .deb, so build that first and move it into the flatpak/ dir before building the rest:

git submodule update --init
mkdir -p flatpak/build
cp src-tauri/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/bundle/deb/*.deb flatpak/build/dorion-x86_64.deb

flatpak-builder --force-clean --ccache --repo=flatpak/repo flatpak/out flatpak/com.spikehd.dorion.yml

Then install the built flatpak and run it:

flatpak --user install -y ./flatpak/repo com.spikehd.dorion
flatpak --user run com.spikehd.dorion

• (non-Windows) External images (UserBG, Decor, UserPFP, etc.) will not load
• (non-Windows) Fonts/font-faces will not load
• Everything else in the issues page

If you submit an issue or ask a question in the Discord, it's likely you will be asked for the following, so please provide them if you can:

• Devtools console output (Ctrl + Shift i, then click "Console")
• latest.log output
  • Windows: %appdata%\dorion\logs
  • Linux: ~/.config/dorion/logs
  • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/dorion/logs

• Check if https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ URLs are being blocked by any system-wide adblockers/firewalls
• Check the devtools console to see if there are any relevant errors

(or a similar client crash)

• Disable non-vital client mods/plugins/extensions and try again.
• If you cannot get to the settings menu, you can delete the following items:
  • Windows: %appdata%\dorion\webdata & %appdata%\dorion\config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/dorion/webdata & ~/.config/dorion/config.json
  • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/dorion/webdata & ~/Library/Application Support/dorion/config.json

• Try installing via MSI instead of the .zip file
• Try using the .zip file instead of the MSI
• (If using the .zip file) make sure all files were extracted properly. Ensure you are extracting Dorion and it's contents into it's own folder.
• Reinstall WebView2
  • Fully uninstall and reinstall.
  • If you are having trouble uninstalling it, or the installer says its already installed even though you uninstalled, try deleting this registry folder and uninstalling again Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Clients\{F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5}

Plugins, extensions, and themes are relatively simple to use, the file structure looks like so on Windows:

C:/Users/%USERNAME%/dorion/
    ├── plugins/
    |   └── plugin.js
    ├── extensions/
    |   └── some_unpacked_extension/
    └── themes/
        └── theme.css

and like so on Linux:

~/.config/dorion/
    ├── plugins/
    |   └── plugin.js
    └── themes/
        └── theme.css

so if you download a plugin, extension, or theme, just pop it into the plugins/extensions/themes folder. If you need help finding them, there are buttons in Dorion settings that'll take you where you need!

Issues, PRs, etc. are all welcome! For guidelines and tips, see CONTRIBUTING.md
