AppImageRepository

AppImage repository

As Linux users, we like to find all applications in a single place, and download/install them with a click. This is not possible with traditional AppImageHub.

We provide

• a tool appimage-crawler.py whose goal is the creation of a database appimages.json of AppImage's, starting from other online found resources (currently we look at the feed https://appimage.github.io/feed.json).
• a webinterface https://luca-vercelli.github.io/AppImageRepository/ that allow downoading software found in the database
• a tool appimage.py that allows installing/removing packages from CLI looking at the database

Known issues

• Currently, appimage-crawler.py requires several days of computation to generate data. Probably that could be improved.
• Sometimes, appimage-crawler.py stucks, it must be stopped and relaunched with --continue option. (Why?)
