Here's the relevant snippet. + +```make +hello: + mkdir -p ./out + gcc -o ./out/hello ./src/main.c +``` + +The CI does create the `out` folder itself but we recommend creating it yourself if possible during your build process to ensure the build process goes smoothly. + +The out folder is not sent to the final plugin, but is then put into a ``bin`` folder which is found at the root of the plugin's directory. +More information on the bin folder can be found below in the distribution section below. + ### Distribution -Plugins are distributed officially through the [decky-plugin-database](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-plugin-database) via usage of submodules and PRs. +We recommend following the instructions found in the [decky-plugin-database](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-plugin-database) on how to get your plugin up on the plugin store. This is the best way to get your plugin in front of users. +You can also choose to do distribution via a zip file containing the needed files, if that zip file is uploaded to a URL it can then be downloded and installed via decky-loader. +Please note that decky-loader will be warn them that the plugin is not verified via hash as it would be coming from the plugin store. + +**NOTE: We do not currently have a method to install from a downloaded zip file in "game-mode" due to lack of a usable file-picking dialog.** + +Layout of a plugin zip ready for distribution: +``` +pluginname-v1.0.0.zip (version number is optional but recommended for users sake) + | + pluginname/ <directory> + | | | + | | bin/ <directory> (optional) + | | | + | | binary (optional) + | | + | dist/ <directory> [required] + | | + | index.js [required] + | + package.json [required] + plugin.json [required] + README.md (optional but recommended) + LICENSE(.md) {required in some cases, not in others} +``` + +Note regarding licenses: Including a license is required for the plugin store if your chosen license requires the license to be included alongside usage of source-code/binaries! + If you wish to distribute your plugin another way then you will need to build and bundle the plugin as a zip file. -Here users can install the zip file from a URL in the settings menu, they will be warned that the plugin is not verified via hash. + +We cannot and will not distribute your plugin on the Plugin Store if it's license requires it's inclusion but you have not included a license to be re-distributed with your plugin in the root of your git repository. diff --git a/backend/Dockerfile b/backend/Dockerfile new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f46e170 --- /dev/null +++ b/backend/Dockerfile @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +# we support images for building with a vanilla SteamOS base, +# or versions with ootb support for rust or go +# developers can also customize these images via this Dockerfile +#FROM ghcr.io/steamdeckhomebrew/holo-toolchain-rust:latest +#FROM ghcr.io/steamdeckhomebrew/holo-toolchain-go:latest +FROM ghcr.io/steamdeckhomebrew/holo-base:latest + +# entrypoint.sh should always be located in the backend folder +ENTRYPOINT [ "/backend/entrypoint.sh" ]
