packaging/linux/build-appimage.sh produces a single-file Linux
AppImage from a built host + Symfony tree + FrankenPHP binary.
Auto-downloads (cached in tools/, gitignored) the three pieces of
upstream tooling:
- linuxdeploy + linuxdeploy-plugin-qt — gathers Qt runtime and QML
modules into the AppDir, and bundles the offscreen platform
plugin via EXTRA_PLATFORM_PLUGINS so headless CI can smoke it.
- appimagetool — squashes the AppDir into the .AppImage.
- runtime-x86_64 — appimagetool's prepended runtime stub, fetched
once and passed via --runtime-file (ad-hoc downloads stalled on
some networks).
The two stages are kept separate (linuxdeploy stages, then we invoke
appimagetool ourselves) so failures are observable rather than
swallowed by linuxdeploy's bundled-tool path.
AppDir layout matches BackendConnection's resolve* fallbacks:
AppDir/usr/bin/<app>
AppDir/usr/bin/frankenphp
AppDir/usr/share/<app>/symfony/
AppDir/usr/share/<app>/Caddyfile
examples/todo gets `make appimage`: stages a no-dev composer install
into build/staging-symfony, points the path repo at the bundle's
absolute path so Composer can find php-qml/bridge from the staging
dir, then drives build-appimage.sh. Output:
build/Todo-x86_64.AppImage (~104 MB).
Verified locally: `make appimage` produces a working AppImage; mount
+ inspect + extract all clean. Headless run requires the bundled
offscreen plugin (now wired); a real desktop launches it normally.
Includes a 64×64 placeholder PNG icon (todo.png) and a minimal
.desktop file for the example.
