## Notes on the AppImages
The [AppImage](https://docs.appimage.org/introduction/index.html)
is a bundle, built by the
[appimage-builder](https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder) from
the Ubuntu Bionic deb files, the sources and `bitmsghash.so`, precompiled for
3 architectures, using the `packages/AppImage/AppImageBuilder.yml` recipe.
When you run the appimage the bundle is loop mounted to a location like
`/tmp/.mount_PyBitm97wj4K` with `squashfs-tools`.
The appimage name has several informational filds:
```
PyBitmessage-<VERSION>-g<COMMITHASH>[-alpha]-<ARCH>.AppImage
```
E.g. `PyBitmessage-0.6.3.2-ge571ba8a-x86_64.AppImage` is an appimage, built from
the `v0.6` for x86_64 and `PyBitmessage-0.6.3.2-g9de2aaf1-alpha-aarch64.AppImage`
is one, built from some development branch for arm64.
You can also build the appimage with local code. For that you need installed
docker:
```
$ docker build -t bm-appimage -f .buildbot/appimage/Dockerfile .
$ docker run -t --rm -v "$(pwd)"/dist:/out bm-appimage .buildbot/appimage/build.sh
```
The appimages should be in the dist dir.
