使用 Gitlab 进行电子更新

Question

是否可以使用带有 Gitlab 标签的 Electron 内置自动更新程序？

我已经看到您可以通过 electron-builder 将 Electron 与 GitHub 版本一起使用，但我不确定 Gitlab 是否可以这样说，因为需要使用 Github 令牌。

如果没有使用 Gitlab 的选项，是否只有其他选项 (a) 自托管 squirrel 服务器，或 (b) github 版本？

Answer 1

在考虑了这个问题和其他问题的答案后，我最终使用 GitLab Pages 来发布我的构建工件。这使我可以让我组织中的每个人都可以免费使用安装程序文件，而无需向所有人开放存储库。

.gitlab-ci.yml:

stages:
  - test
  - build
  - deploy

test-app:
  stage: test
  image: node:lts-alpine
  script:
    - npm install
    - npm run test:colors

electron-release-build:
  only:
    - master
  stage: build
  image: electronuserland/builder:wine
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npm run package:publish
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - electron-release/*.exe*
      - electron-release/*.yml
    expire_in: 1 month

pages:
  stage: deploy
  only:
    - master
  image: alpine:latest
  dependencies:
    - electron-release-build
  script:
    # Note that `public` already exists in this repo, and has an index.html to
    # to act as a downloads page.
    - cp electron-release/*.exe electron-release/*.blockmap electron-release/*.yml public
    - EXE_FILENAME=$(find ./electron-release -maxdepth 1 -name "Maestro*.exe")
    - EXE_BASENAME=$(basename "$EXE_FILENAME")
    - sed -i "s/INSERT_FILE_NAME/${EXE_BASENAME}/g" ./public/index.html
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - public

package.json 的相关部分：

{
  "build": {
    "asar": true,
    "appId": "com.myapp.app",
    "productName": "myapp",
    "directories": {
      "output": "electron-release"
    },
    "extraFiles": [
      "build/icon.ico"
    ],
    "detectUpdateChannel": false,
    "publish": {
      "provider": "generic",
      "url": "https://myappgroup.pages.example.com/myapp"
    },
    "win": {
      "target": "nsis",
      "verifyUpdateCodeSignature": false,
      "icon": "build/icon.ico"
    },
    "nsis": {
      "oneClick": false,
      "perMachine": false,
      "allowElevation": true,
      "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true
    }
  }
}

其他任何地方都不需要更改。

这也稍微简化了一些事情，因为我认为由于权限（https://gitlab.com/_example_repo_/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/dist?job=build 404s 对我来说），我不能使用另一个答案中提出的提供者 URL。

我的工作示例

.gitlab-ci

variables:
  VERSION_ID: '1.0.$CI_PIPELINE_ID'

stages:
  - build

build:
  image: slauta93/electron-builder-win
  stage: build
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - $CI_PROJECT_DIR/dist/*.*
  script:
    - sed "s/0.0.0/${VERSION_ID}/g" package.json > _package.json && mv _package.json package.json
    - npm install && npm run build

Answer 3

您可以使用通用主机，这是最简单的方法，请参阅：
https://gist.github.com/iffy/0ff845e8e3f59dbe7eaf2bf24443f104

您可以编辑updates.json/yml 指向gitlab 版本，它不会比通用服务器差。不过，它不会检查 gitlab 凭据。

您可以使用 Amazon S3 或 Bintray，请参阅：
https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/wiki/Publishing-Artifacts

Google Compute 声称它们可以设置为与 S3 兼容，因此您也可以使用它们。

您可以使用 git+ssh 语法使用与 Github 相同的 Gitlab 版本。还没有测试过，但请参阅Install npm module from gitlab private repository
