Unofficial AppImage of GNOME Boxes.

From here you can download the script to build on top of JuNest, the lightweight Arch Linux based distro that runs, without root privileges, on top of any other Linux distro.

If you are an Nvidia user, for the JuNest-based build, hardware accelleration is provided by Conty. At first start it will install Nvidia drivers locally to allow the builtin Arch Linux container the use of hardware accelleration.

Important!

Since its internal bubblewrap version mounts /var, you need to install "libvirt" daemons and drivers from your package manager.

On Debian and derivatives:

sudo apt install libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system

On Arch Linux and derivatives:

sudo pacman -S libvirt

How it works

  1. Download the AppImage from https://github.com/ivan-hc/Boxes-appimage/releases
  2. Made it executable
chmod a+x ./*.AppImage
  1. Run it
./*.AppImage

This AppImage does NOT require libfuse2, being it a new generation one.


How to build it

This is an Archimage, it is enough to follow the instructions on the README of the project https://github.com/ivan-hc/ArchImage

In brief:

  1. Create an empty directory, for example "tmp"
  2. Download this script in that directory
  3. Open a terminal in that directory (NO absolute path, NO drag & drop)
  4. Run the script, like this ./*-junest.sh
  5. Wait until the end of the process
  6. Run the AppImage

Troubleshot

◆ Lack of USB support

It is still a work in progress.

"AM" Application Manager

Package manager, database & solutions for all AppImages and portable apps for GNU/Linux!

Readme Readme

"AM"/"AppMan" is a set of scripts and modules for installing, updating, and managing AppImage packages and other portable formats, in the same way that APT manages DEBs packages, DNF the RPMs, and so on... using a large database of Shell scripts inspired by the Arch User Repository, each dedicated to an app or set of applications.

The engine of "AM"/"AppMan" is the "APP-MANAGER" script which, depending on how you install or rename it, allows you to install apps system-wide (for a single system administrator) or locally (for each user).

"AM"/"AppMan" aims to be the default package manager for all AppImage packages, giving them a home to stay.

You can consult the entire list of managed apps at portable-linux-apps.github.io/apps.
