Vikunja desktop

License: GPL v3

The Vikunja frontend all repackaged as an electron app to run as a desktop app!

Dev

As this package does not contain any code, only a thin wrapper around electron, you will need to do this to get the actual frontend bundle and build the app:

First, build the frontend:

cd ../frontend
pnpm install
pnpm run build

Then, copy the frontend to this directory:

cd desktop
cp -r ../frontend/dist frontend/
sed -i 's/\/api\/v1//g' frontend/index.html # Make sure to trigger the "enter the Vikunja url" prompt

Then you can run the desktop app like this:

pnpm install
pnpm start

Building for release

  1. Run the snippet from above, but with a valid frontend version instead of unstable
  2. Change the version in package.json (That's the one that will be used by electron-builder`
  3. pnpm install
  4. pnpm run dist --linux --windows
