Installation

Quick Install

You can install HeroLauncher using our install script:

# Install the latest version
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freeflowuniverse/herolauncher/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

# Install a specific version
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freeflowuniverse/herolauncher/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s 1.0.0

The script will:

• Download the appropriate binary for your platform
• Install it to ~/herolauncher/bin
• Add the installation directory to your PATH
• Create symlinks in /usr/local/bin if possible

Manual Installation

You can also download the binaries manually from the Releases page.

Development

Running Tests

# Run all tests
./test.sh

# Run tests with debug output
./test.sh --debug

The test script will run all Go tests in the project and display a summary of the results at the end. You can exclude specific packages by uncommenting them in the EXCLUDED_MODULES array in the test.sh file.

Continuous Integration and Deployment

This project uses GitHub Actions for CI/CD:

• Go Tests: Runs all tests using the test.sh script on every push and pull request
• Go Lint: Performs linting using golangci-lint to ensure code quality
• Build: Builds the application for multiple platforms (Linux Intel/ARM, macOS Intel/ARM, Windows) and makes the binaries available as artifacts
• Release: Creates GitHub releases with binaries for all platforms when a new tag is pushed

Downloading Binaries from CI

The Build workflow creates binaries for multiple platforms and makes them available as artifacts. To download the binaries:

1. Go to the Actions tab in the repository
2. Click on the latest successful Build workflow run
3. Scroll down to the Artifacts section
4. Download the artifact for your platform:
   • herolauncher-linux-amd64.tar.gz for Linux (Intel)
   • herolauncher-linux-arm64.tar.gz for Linux (ARM)
   • herolauncher-darwin-amd64.tar.gz for macOS (Intel)
   • herolauncher-darwin-arm64.tar.gz for macOS (ARM)
   • herolauncher-windows-amd64.zip for Windows
5. Extract the archive to get the binaries
6. The archive contains the following executables:
   • pmclient-[platform]: Process Manager client
   • telnettest-[platform]: Telnet test utility
   • webdavclient-[platform]: WebDAV client
   • webdavserver-[platform]: WebDAV server
7. Run the desired executable from the command line

Creating a New Release

To create a new release:

1. Use the release script:

# Run the release script
./scripts/release.sh

This script will:

• Get the latest release from GitHub
• Ask for a new version number
• Create a git tag with the new version
• Push the tag to GitHub

2. Alternatively, you can manually create and push a tag:

# Tag a new version
git tag v1.0.0

# Push the tag to trigger the release workflow
git push origin v1.0.0

3. The Release workflow will automatically:

   • Build the binaries for all platforms
   • Create a GitHub release with the tag name
   • Upload the binaries as assets to the release
   • Generate release notes based on the commits since the last release

4. Once the workflow completes, the release will be available on the Releases page

Docker

A Docker image is automatically built and pushed to Docker Hub on each push to main/master and on tag releases. To use the Docker image:

# Pull the latest image
docker pull username/herolauncher:latest

# Run the container
docker run -p 9001:9001 username/herolauncher:latest

Replace username with the actual Docker Hub username configured in the repository secrets.
