Debian package

Deprecated Pixelated Debian repository

Our Pixelated Debian repository has been discontinued. Latest working packages can now be found on our release page.

NOTE: In the steps below, the dpkg -i ... step is an intermediate one and might throw errors that will be resolved automatically when the apt-get install... step is run. Any errors on the apt-get install ... step are the ones that need to be resolved manually.

Installing the User Agent from Debian

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/pixelated/pixelated-user-agent/releases/download/1.0_beta1/pixelated-user-agent_0.6.699.gbpc8f588_all.deb 
dpkg -i pixelated-user-agent_0.6.699.gbpc8f588_all.deb
apt-get install -f

Installing Pixelated Server

The pixelated-server packages runs the user-agent in multi-user mode as a service. Please install the user-agent as shown above, then:

wget https://github.com/pixelated/pixelated-user-agent/releases/download/1.0_beta1/pixelated-server_0.2.162.gbpba0081_all.deb
dpkg -i pixelated-server_0.2.162.gbpba0081_all.deb
apt-get install -f

Unofficial package generation

Unofficial but automatically triggered builds can be found at https://0xacab.org/pixelated/pixelated-user-agent/pipelines (click on the download symbol and choose "Download Artifacts"). This will download a file called artifacts.zip which can get extracted with:

unzip artifacts.zip

Then, you can install the user-agent with:

dpkg -i pixelated-user-agent_..._all.deb
apt-get install -f

Build Debian packages locally

To build your own Debian packages from your machine, you will need to install Gitlab-runner and docker, so you should follow these steps:

sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner https://gitlab-ci-multi-runner-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/binaries/gitlab-ci-multi-runner-linux-amd64  # download gitlab-runner
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gitlab-runner  # set gitlab-runner as executable

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh  # to install docker

sudo useradd --comment 'GitLab Runner' --create-home gitlab-runner --shell /bin/bash  # adds gitlab-runner user

There are more information about Gitlab-runner here

There are two packages needed for a server installation, pixelated-user-agent and pixelated-server. In the rare situation where you need to build the pixpybuild package you can do it with these instructions as well (but you really shouldn't need to).

In this example we build the user-agent package, but the steps for building other packages are the same:

export BUILD_PROJECT=pixelated-user-agent
git clone https://github.com/pixelated/${BUILD_PROJECT}.git
cd ${BUILD_PROJECT}
sudo gitlab-runner exec docker --docker-volumes "/tmp/pixelated_buildpackage/${BUILD_PROJECT}:/tmp/docker_volume:rw" package

The resulting package will be located at /tmp/pixelated_buildpackage/${BUILD_PROJECT}/project-0/.
