adactive/docker-electron-installer-windows repository overview

⁠docker-electron-installer-windows

Docker image to build Electron Windows Installer using: - electron-packager⁠ - electron-installer-windows⁠

⁠Why?

I've tried to build my Electon Windows Installers using continuous integration, and especially CircleCi.

⁠Issues with electronuserland/builder:wine-mono

Using docker image electronuserland/builder:wine-mono⁠ is not working.

While using electron-packager⁠ I've encouner the following error.

The issue is that mono version is v4.x.x but Nuget works on v5.x.x see⁠

⁠Extending electronuserland/builder:wine⁠ with mono v5.x.x

After installing mono v5.x.x⁠, I've ended up with the following error:

Error: Error releasifying package: Error executing command (Exited with status 255):

This is due to 7zip shipped in electron-installer-windows is in 64bits. You can replace it with the 32bits version, to make it working like explained here⁠ but I'm not fan of that solution.

After trying thoses solutions, I've decided to create my own docker image

⁠What's inside?
