my.fdroid.server is docker-container wich combines gplaycli from @matlink with fdroidserver from F-Droid team. Regular updates are triggered via cron.
The docker image is based on nginx from linuxserver.io team and on ci-images-base from F-Droid team for getting android-sdk.
This repo is provided as is. Due to lack of time there might be no further development.
gplay stopped working for me a while ago. As alternative apkeep was integrated (see branch "apkeep").
Installation
If an empty docker-volume is given, the container:
- creates the standard webserver-config (
/config/www,/config/nginx - initialises fdroid repository at
/config/fdroidby usingfdroid init - copies a standard gplaycli config file at
/config/fdroid/gplaycli.conf - copies a examplaric apk list (for downloading firefox) to
/config/fdroid/apk_list.txt
After container has started you have to:
- edit fdroid-repo conifg file
config.yml(see example on [https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/master/examples/config.yml]) - edit gplaycli config file
gplaycli.conf(remark: for me only plaintext resp. mail+password login works) - fill
apk_list.txtwith apks - update fdroid repo with
fdroid_update
apk-list.txt
/config/fdroid/apk_list.txt contains a list of apks to be handled by gplaycli. Each line shall contain a single apk-id. Each line containing # will be ignored (poor mans commenting function).
If an apk is contained in apk_list.txt then it will be downloaded resp. updated. All other apk-files found in /config/fdroid/repo will be deleted localy and from local FDroid-Server.
Scripts in container
| Script name | Description |
|---|---|
gplay_search <name> |
Searches for apks with at store. |
gplay_download <app-id> |
Downloads apk with to /config/fdroid/repo and appedns version to apk-filename. Remark: Unless apk is not added to apk_list.txt, it will be deleted with next fdroid_update. |
fdroid_update |
Downloads apk-updates based on the apks found in /config/fdroid/repo and triggers the fdroid update and fdroid deploy. |
fdroid_remove_apk <name> |
Removes apks with from /config/fdroid/repo. Wildcards might be used. Remark: Unless apk is not removed from apk_list.txt, it will be readded with next fdroid_update. |
fdroid_purge_apk <name> |
Same as fdroid_remove_apk, but also removes apks from /config/fdroid/archive |
Build docker:
git clone <tbd>
cd my.fdroid.server
docker build -t my.fdroid.server .
Environment:
| Env | Default Value | Function |
|---|---|---|
| PUID | 1000 | for UserID; also see explanation on linuxserver.io |
| GUID | 1000 | for GroupID; also see explanation on linuxserver.io |
| TZ | Europe/Berlin | used timezone in the Container |
| LANG | de_DE.UTF-8 | language and coding in container |
| CRON_TIMESPEC | 35 2 * * * | time specification for cronjob; specifies when repo is updated using fdroid_update (default: nightly at 2:35am). A generator for cron time specification can be found for example here: https://crontab.guru/ |
| RUN_ON_STARTUP | no | if 'yes', fdroid_update will be executed on container startup |
As on most linuxserver.io based images all configuration (path in container: /config) is stored in a docker-volume.
/config/fdroid contains fdroid-configuration as well as gplaycli configfile.
/config/nginx contains webserver configuration.
/config/www contains webserverroot. fdroid usually copies the repo files here.
