Linux support (x86_64 AppImage)

Plexamp Classic now ships for Linux alongside macOS:

  • Single-file AppImage for x86_64 — download, chmod +x, run.
  • Standard desktop integration: Audio category, matching StartupWMClass, and a proper icon set.
  • Runs on distros with glibc 2.25 or newer (Ubuntu 20.04-era and up).

macOS installation

This build is unsigned and not notarized. If Gatekeeper blocks it on first launch, right-click the app and choose Open, then confirm.

Linux installation

chmod +x Plexamp-Classic-0.7.0-x86_64.AppImage
./Plexamp-Classic-0.7.0-x86_64.AppImage

On first launch, choose Log in to discover owned and shared servers, or set PLEX_HOST and PLEX_TOKEN environment variables for a direct LAN server.

The AppImage launches with --no-sandbox — the standard electron-builder default for AppImages, because Chromium's sandbox cannot be setuid through FUSE.

Verification

  • Universal DMG for Apple silicon and Intel Macs; Linux AppImage for x86_64.
  • Built from commit 812ae8e (v0.7.0) from fresh public clones of the tag.
  • Both packages audited: no Plex credentials, account state, .env, or non-redistributable preset pack.
  • Linux AppImage runtime-tested end-to-end on Debian 12: the library connects to a real Plex server, and album playback reaches PLAYING with audio streaming through the TLS-tolerant proxy (HTTP 206, Range passthrough).
  • SHA-256 checksums attached alongside both artifacts.
