Desktop App Beta Testing #13

kspearrin · Feb 20, 2018

We are releasing the Bitwarden desktop application as a public beta to gather feedback and fix any issues before going live. The application is now available on Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions.

Download

You can download the desktop app from the GitHub releases page here:

https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/releases

Choose the appropriate file with the most recent version for your operating system:

Windows: Bitwarden-Installer-x.y.z.exe
macOS: Bitwarden-x.y.z.dmg
Linux: Bitwarden-x.y.z-x86_64.AppImage
- Note: Make sure you adjust permissions to make the AppImage executable: chmod a+x Bitwarden*.AppImage. More info at https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki

Other available installations:

Windows Portable: Bitwarden-Portable-x.y.z.exe
- Note: The portable version does not auto-update. Manual updates are required (re-downloading a new .exe).
Windows Chocolatey: coming soon
macOS homebrew cask: brew cask install bitwarden
macOS Mac App Store: coming soon
Linux .deb: Bitwarden-x.y.z-amd64.deb
- Note: .deb installations do not auto-update. It is recommended to use the .AppImage version so that you do not have to update the application manually.
Linux .rpm: Bitwarden-x.y.z-x86_64.rpm
- Note: .rpm installations do not auto-update. It is recommended to use the .AppImage version so that you do not have to update the application manually.
Linux snap: coming soon

Automatic Updates

Unless otherwise noted above, the app will automatically alert you about updates and install them as they become available.

Report Problems / Feedback

Please open a new issue in this repository if you find any problems.

Known Issues

The Windows exe files are not currently signed. Because of this, you may get a warning when trying to open them for the first time. Select the "More Info" link to "Run Anyways". The files will be properly signed when we go live.
The application menu is permanently disabled on Ubuntu 16.04. ref: electron/electron#11891

Awesome work, thank you so much! :) I'll wait for the Snap to arrive though.

Any chance you will officially support FreeBSD?

Any chance you will officially support FreeBSD?

@papertigers I don't really know anything about FreeBSD. What is needed to support it? Will the AppImage not work there?

kspearrin · Feb 21, 2018

@kspearrin you can probably ignore my request for now. It looks like electron currently doesn't build on FreeBSD. There are some community patches that need to land first.

@papertigers I ran our packaging tool with the freebsd option enabled and it produced this. Does it work?

@kspearrin it looks like its an xz file and if I untar everything, then file says its Bitwarden/bitwarden: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, stripped

It's not a huge issue. Like I said I can look at building it from the repo once electron gains support for FreeBSD. Sorry to bug you

What's the difference between bitwarden-x.y.z.exe and bitwarden-x.y.z-x64.nsis.7z?

EddieFAF · Feb 21, 2018

What's the difference between bitwarden-x.y.z.exe and bitwarden-x.y.z-x64.nsis.7z?

@EddieFAF One is a packaged portable EXE and the other is not.

@papertigers So it doesn't work?

Menu bar language translation?

zhtw2013 · Feb 21, 2018

Menu bar language translation?

@zhtw2013 Fixed in next version.

kspearrin · Feb 21, 2018

@zhtw2013 Fixed in next version.

@kspearrin thanks much man, a nice surprise!

One thing I like on the web version is when viewing "ALL" it'll still split up each folder. Maybe something we can see on the desktop app.

It's looking nice so far. Maybe we could have a flatpak package too.

@zhtw2013 Can you confirm the menu is translated now in 0.0.8?

kspearrin · Feb 22, 2018

@zhtw2013 Can you confirm the menu is translated now in 0.0.8?

Menu is translated!

But
Wndows、Help、Minimize、Close、Zoom in、Zoom out...
Can you add string to crowdin?

I can confirm some strings are missing from Crowdin.

Japanese is also partially English currently.

Ok, what strings ?

Quite a bit.

Lemme take a ton of screenshots :-P

These strings are not missing from crowdin. They just haven’t been translated yet.

@kspearrin I just checked desktop on crowdin, and it was 100%???

Also, Linux AppImage doesn't have an icon.

dabura667 · Feb 25, 2018

Then they were likely recently translated. It probably needs to just be refreshed for the next build. It’s not automatic.

Oh yes, I search for some of the words on this and it says "a day ago"

I will wait for the new release. Great job!

Once desktop is settled down will you crowd fund a formal audit? Thanks.

@probonopd It seems that a change we made in this most recent version is behaving differently on some Linux distros. For some reason the /home/me/.config/Bitwarden/ folder does not exist yet whenever we try to create the logs folder underneath it. We'll get a patch out soon.

I have tested it on Ubuntu 16.04 myself here, but I can't reproduce so I am not sure why it's doing that for you on the same.

I'm running Ubuntu (Linux uplink 4.13.0-36-generic #40~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 16 23:25:58 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux). I installed the app via snaps, but when I click on the (automatically created) link in the Dash/HUD it doesn't start — but it's launched, so I see that the icon appears in the Launcher but it disappears after some time. I tried several times since I've noticed that, sometimes, there are app(s) that just doesn't run the first couple of times after being installed, e.g.: KeePassXC, Slack, DataGrip...to name a few.

On the other hand, if I go to /snap/bitwarden/current/ and execute bitwarden, I can see the Electron app coming up as expected. So it might be the command executed for the icon.
