frp client binary tar should get removed and be replaced by a normal git repo

[ser]

Feature request

Why is the frp is thrown here as a .tgz instead of being a separate repo?

It compolicates automations and makes things unclear from the security point of view.

Request: move frp to separate repo and adapt Dockerfile to get the frp client from there.

When forking the FRP repository, releases will not be cloned.

If I understand you correctly, you're suggesting creating a new repository where FRP releases will simply be stored as pure binaries?
Or perhaps something else?

[ser]

Sorry to not being clear, I meant a separate repository where frp source plus binary will be distributed. Currently there is frp_0.61.1_linux_arm64.tar.gz blob with unbrowsable content and it will also break any automation in future releases. It would be nice to see it how is it being build, for example through actions.

I propose to solve it with this piece of code for Dockerfile using the original source repo:

RUN set -ex; \
    # 1. Determine Architecture
    ARCH=$(uname -m); \
    if [ "$ARCH" = "aarch64" ]; then \
        FRP_ARCH="arm64"; \
    else \
        FRP_ARCH="amd64"; \
    fi; \
    \
    # 2. Get the latest version tag from GitHub API (e.g., "v0.54.0")
    # This removes the 'v' prefix for the URL/folder construction
    LATEST_VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/fatedier/frp/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"v?([^"]+)".*/\1/'); \
    \
    # 3. Construct URL
    FRP_URL="https://github.com/fatedier/frp/releases/download/v${LATEST_VERSION}/frp_${LATEST_VERSION}_linux_${FRP_ARCH}.tar.gz"; \
    \
    echo "Downloading FRP version ${LATEST_VERSION} from ${FRP_URL}"; \
    \
    # 4. Download and Install
    curl -L "$FRP_URL" -o /tmp/frp.tar.gz; \
    tar -C /tmp -xzf /tmp/frp.tar.gz; \
    \
    # Use a wildcard to find the folder as it includes the version number
    mv /tmp/frp_${LATEST_VERSION}_linux_${FRP_ARCH} /tmp/frp; \
    cp /tmp/frp/frpc /usr/local/bin/frpc; \
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/frpc; \
    \
    # 5. Cleanup
    rm -rf /tmp/frp /tmp/frp.tar.gz
