OpenTubeX Snap

This repository builds and publishes the official OpenTubeX Snap package for amd64 and arm64 systems.

Install OpenTubeX

Install OpenTubeX from the Snap Store:

sudo snap install opentubex --beta

Snap keeps Store installations updated automatically. To opt in to development snapshots, install from the edge channel instead:

sudo snap install opentubex --edge

Edge builds are intended for testing and may be unstable.

Manual installation

You can also download the package for your architecture from GitHub Releases and install it directly:

sudo snap install --dangerous ./opentubex_*.snap

Packages installed this way are not connected to the Snap Store and must be updated manually.

How publishing works

After an OpenTubeX stable or nightly release finishes uploading its packages, the application repository sends a repository dispatch containing the exact release tag. Nightlies are published to edge; regular releases are published to both beta and edge. The publish workflow then:

1. validates that the release contains the required amd64 and arm64 Debian packages;
2. updates the Snap version for that workflow run;
3. builds both architectures using strict confinement and the Core 24 base;
4. attaches the resulting packages to a GitHub release;
5. uploads the packages to the selected Snap Store channels.

The workflow can also be run manually with a release tag. Manual runs publish downloadable packages on GitHub. Enable the publish input to also publish to the Snap Store; regular releases use the selected channel and nightlies use edge.

Maintainer setup

1. Log in with snapcraft login using an account with publishing access to the registered opentubex Snap.

2. Export credentials restricted to this package:

   snapcraft export-login \
     --snaps=opentubex \
     --channels=stable,candidate,beta,edge \
     --acls=package_access,package_push,package_update,package_release \
     snapcraft-login.txt

3. Add the contents of that file as the SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS repository secret.

4. Run the Build and publish Snap workflow with publishing disabled and test the downloaded package when changing the packaging.

The OpenTubeX application repository uses its existing PUSH_TOKEN secret to send the cross-repository dispatch. That token needs write access to this repository.
