AppImage: Make build reproducible
We build our own mksquashfs from squashfskit which supports generating
reproducible squashfs images. We use a small wrapper script to remove
the -mkfs-fixed-time which appimagekit passes but squashfskits
mksquashfs does not support.

AppImage binary for Electrum

This assumes an Ubuntu host, but it should not be too hard to adapt to another similar system. The docker commands should be executed in the project's root folder.

  1. Install Docker

    $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
    $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce
    
  2. Build image

    $ sudo docker build --no-cache -t electrum-appimage-builder-img contrib/build-linux/appimage
    
  3. Build binary

    $ sudo docker run -it \
        --name electrum-appimage-builder-cont \
        -v $PWD:/opt/electrum \
        --rm \
        --workdir /opt/electrum/contrib/build-linux/appimage \
        electrum-appimage-builder-img \
        ./build.sh
    
  4. The generated binary is in ./dist.
