The slopsmith org was deleted in the DMCA relaunch; core + plugins now live under the private got-feedback org. Repoint the whole build: - core clone (nightly.yml, build-common.sh) -> got-feedback/feedback, authenticated via GH_CLONE_TOKEN (a PAT with read on the private org; threaded through build.yml/nightly.yml/release.yml). Local builds without it fall back to the git credential helper. - bundled-plugin list -> got-feedback/feedback-plugin-*, pruned to the set that exists in the org: drops the removed extraction plugins (profileimport, tones, sloppak-converter) and not-yet-rehomed ones (nam-rig-builder, tabimport); 34 plugins bundled. - dirname derivation strips the new feedback-plugin- prefix. - ghcr image -> ghcr.io/got-feedback/feedback; VERSION-sync dispatch -> got-feedback/feedback; soundfont + update FEED_URL + docs -> got-feedback/feedback-desktop. Two prerequisites remain (owner-only): set the GH_CLONE_TOKEN secret, and re-upload the soundfonts-v1 release assets to feedback-desktop.

# DevContainer build environment
|
|
|
|
Everything needed to build Slopsmith Desktop in a reproducible,
|
|
CI-identical environment using Docker.
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
Slopsmith Desktop compiles a native C++ audio engine (JUCE), bundles a
|
|
portable Python runtime, and packages via electron-builder — all of
|
|
which can produce subtly different artifacts on different distros
|
|
(glibc, system library versions, Node/Python provenance). This
|
|
container pins everything to what the GitHub Actions `ubuntu-22.04`
|
|
runner uses so local AppImage builds match CI.
|
|
|
|
## Contents
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `Dockerfile` | Ubuntu 22.04 base image; versions read from `../.build-config.json` |
|
|
| `devcontainer.json` | VS Code Dev Containers configuration |
|
|
| `README.md` | This file |
|
|
|
|
The Docker-wrapped one-shot build lives at
|
|
[`../scripts/build-linux-release.sh`](../scripts/build-linux-release.sh).
|
|
|
|
Versions of Node, Python, .NET, Electron, CMake, and the Ubuntu base
|
|
are defined in [`../.build-config.json`](../.build-config.json). CI and
|
|
this container both read from it, so no version drift.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed and running
|
|
- The [Slopsmith](https://github.com/got-feedback/feedback) server
|
|
repository cloned **adjacent** to this one:
|
|
```
|
|
your-projects/
|
|
├── slopsmith/
|
|
└── slopsmith-desktop/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
### VS Code (recommended)
|
|
|
|
With the [Dev Containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers):
|
|
|
|
1. Open the project in VS Code
|
|
2. Run **Dev Containers: Reopen in Container**
|
|
3. Wait for first-time image build + `npm install` (via `postCreateCommand`)
|
|
4. Build the release: `npm run dist:linux`
|
|
5. Artifacts in `release/` are visible on the host
|
|
|
|
### Docker only
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./scripts/build-linux-release.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Builds the image, runs the build inside a container, and emits
|
|
`.AppImage` + `.deb` into `release/` on the host.
|
|
|
|
## Build output
|
|
|
|
| File | Description |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `release/*.AppImage` | Portable Linux executable (self-contained) |
|
|
| `release/*.deb` | Debian/Ubuntu package |
|
|
|
|
Both appear on your host filesystem — test them immediately without
|
|
touching the container.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
### The image
|
|
|
|
The Dockerfile layers onto `mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu-22.04`:
|
|
- **Node.js** from NodeSource, version per `.build-config.json`
|
|
- **Python 3.12** from the deadsnakes PPA (Ubuntu 22.04's main repos
|
|
only ship 3.10)
|
|
- **.NET** via the upstream `dot.net` install script
|
|
- **System libraries** from `.packages/apt.txt`
|
|
|
|
### Mounts
|
|
|
|
Two bind mounts:
|
|
|
|
1. `slopsmith-desktop` → `/workspace` — source code, node_modules, build
|
|
output. Edits are reflected immediately on the host.
|
|
2. `../slopsmith` → `/workspaces/slopsmith` — the Slopsmith server repo
|
|
that `bundle-slopsmith.sh` copies from at bundle time.
|
|
|
|
### Container lifecycle
|
|
|
|
The one-shot build container is **not** auto-removed (`--rm` is
|
|
deliberately omitted from `build-linux-release.sh`). This lets you
|
|
attach a shell after a failed build to diagnose:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec -it <container-name> /bin/bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Clean up when done:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker stop <container-name> && docker rm <container-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script prints the container name on completion or failure.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### "Slopsmith repository not found"
|
|
|
|
Clone the server repo adjacent:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ..
|
|
git clone https://github.com/got-feedback/feedback.git
|
|
cd slopsmith-desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Permission errors on `release/`
|
|
|
|
UID/GID mismatch between your host user and the container's `vscode`
|
|
user (UID 1000). If needed:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo chown -R "$(id -u):$(id -g)" release/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### First build is slow
|
|
|
|
First build downloads Docker layers, installs apt packages, and
|
|
bootstraps node_modules. Subsequent builds use layer caching.
|
|
|
|
### Out of disk space
|
|
|
|
Electron builds are large (expect ~10 GB free). Clean old images:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker system prune -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## CI vs local container
|
|
|
|
Intentional differences:
|
|
- No publishing secrets (`--publish never`)
|
|
- Host architecture (GitHub Actions also builds for macOS/Windows)
|
|
- No release-draft creation
|
|
|
|
Everything else — system deps, Node/Python/.NET versions, the bundle
|
|
pipeline — is driven by the same `.build-config.json` + `.packages/`
|
|
files the CI workflow reads.
|
|
|
|
## Modifying the build environment
|
|
|
|
- **System packages**: edit `.packages/apt.txt` (`brew.txt`/`choco.txt`
|
|
for the other platforms)
|
|
- **Tool versions**: edit `.build-config.json`
|
|
- **Image-level changes**: edit `Dockerfile`; rebuild with
|
|
`./scripts/build-linux-release.sh` (or VS Code: **Dev Containers:
|
|
Rebuild Container**)
