right now updating riot-web is manual process (okay, I have a script for that).

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade would be awesome.

This is already possible with the repo linked at https://riot.im/desktop.html. I guess only the documentation how to do it is missing currently. Someone posted a the docu for that in the matrix HQ chat. If I can find it I'll post it here.

FWIW, I have a script to convert a Riot tarball to a deb package at https://gitlab.com/snippets/1666923, and set up a repo at https://debian.uhoreg.ca/experimental/riot-webapp/. I'll try to maintain that repo with the latest version (until something official comes up), but it may lag a bit from the official releases. To add the repo to apt, add "deb http://debian.uhoreg.ca/experimental/riot-webapp ./" (or use https if you have apt-transport-https installed) to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and run "finger uhoreg/key@db.debian.org | sudo apt-key add -" to add my GPG key to apt.

so i assumed that rit-web would mean it hosts the riot website..
am i mistaken ?
after installing apt-get install riot-web
and running it riot-web nothing happens

or do i have to set this up with nodejs and there is no ready use package for servers ?

riot-web debian package is the electron build of the riot-web repository. @NikkyAI

@NikkyAI download https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/releases/download/v0.11.4/riot-v0.11.4.tar.gz and extract it to any webhost, its a bunch of static files.

ran in this too - riot-web as packagename is misleading. I didn't expect electron there - thankfully i was able to cancel the installation, otherwise a full gnome installation for my headless server would have occurred.

this. electron version should be named riot-desktop.

Is there any way I can help? It should be possible to provide a minimum deb which just copies the release files to a webroot dir (e. g. /opt/element-web), like the Debian Matrix packaging team did with hydrogen (see https://salsa.debian.org/matrix-team/matrix-hydrogen).

I'm not sure if element-web needs to write to it's webroot. If that is the case, then this is much more difficult of course.

I think this issue was originally about the web, not desktop client, which makes any discussion about Electron moot.

Also, that linked bug is about the official repositories. A PPA can package anything.

As mentioned above, this issue is about having a Debian package for the web version that you might use on your web server. It is not related to desktop, so I'll hide these desktop bits to keep the issue focused.

The fact that there isn't a separate issue tracker for Element Desktop is kind of a problem...

We track all Element Web and Desktop things here in this repo, as there's usually a lot of cross-over. There are already many desktop issues here, so feel free to file another if needed.

Is there help needed to package a Debian package for the webserver version? I'd be glad to give some assistance if needed.

I've got a program I'm working on that could reduce the overhead of maintaining a Debian package if that's causing any issues.
