Linux and Windows App #89
Comments
@davidpgil There are definitely "plans" (oh but how I hate that word, as it doesn't imply anything about whether said plans are realistic! "man plans, god laughs", "the best laid plans of mice and men", etc. so let's talk of "progress", not merely "plans" :D) to make both a Windows and a Linux app: you can even see the folders app-linux and app-windows in our codebase ;P. (The apps even run, and even look like the macOS app! They simply don't do anything useful as far as actually controlling the VPN yet... will happen: "progress" is being made.) I will leave this issue open as a tracking issue (but if it actually gets a lot of comments I'll probably lock it, as this seems more like it would make a better community forum post--if such a thing existed--than a developer issue). |
I just wanted to know if there is a plan. Good to know that a plan exists to eventually have a Windows and Linux version. :) |
@davidpgil Linux CLI version is available starting with release 0.9.5 |
Awsome, love to give that a try! |
I think the Orchid Labs marketing people put together some documentation for the current -- which I say as this is not at all how it will work when it finishes being integrated with the apps (the entire concept of the configuration file I have is a temporary hack, and this client daemon was never really intended for use: but you are always welcome to do so anyway!) so it always seems like a waste to try to document it in the codebase... -- Orchid client daemon (I wouldn't call it a "CLI"; "cli" in the codebase is short for "client", not "command line interface"); I'm only finding the documentation for Windows, but I believe it should be fully identical. https://blog.orchid.com/orchid-is-now-available-in-beta-for-windows-command-line/ |
@saurik Awesome! What's the timeline for the ETH to xDai blockchain migration for the Windows and Linux command line versions? The Android app (since I have an Android phone) seems to use xDai now by default. |
@saurik Also, is it necessary to set up the TAP driver on Linux? I think that's Windows specific, no? |
@wyphan Yeah: just ignore the TAP discussion. The usage of xDai is just driven by the configuration file (which is really dumb; like, I temporarily had the switch between the contracts to be "orchid" vs. "orch1d" and it stuck as I intend to replace how that file works anyway). And oh... I thought PatN had decided to code a thing that let you export full configurations from the app, not merely accounts, but those instructions are having you fill in the account into a template for the hop. Huh. Ok, so the way to get an xDai hop is: (The errors in this log are because the Cloudflare JSON/RPC endpoint doesn't work very well :(. But I think it retried and recovered from that; I could easily see the behavior you just pasted happening due to "out of money".) |
@saurik I set up my
and I got the following error message (repeated):
This is with the latest release version 0.9.28. I also tried
and I get a different set of error messages (also repeated):
|
@wyphan The top-level RPC variable must be for Ethereum, not xDai, as that is to query the directory contract (a high-security coordination point that is almost never updated so gas costs on Ethereum don't matter). Try https://cloudflare-eth.com/ (which is flakey but usually works). |
What's the status for a windows app? |
Hi,
And the output throws lines like this:
So I guess I need to add rpc: "url" to each hop enclosed by {}, but if I add current rpc urls for each of those chains (xDAI and MATIC), I get a buch of other error messages. Do you know what am I missing or the right urls I should add to each hop? Thanks... |
@rarigita Can you provide the "bu[n]ch of other error messages" you got when you corrected your configuration file? |
@saurik: to simplify I just removed MATIC hop and left only the DAI hop, adding the rpc label after the currency, like this:
If I change the rpc url to "https://rpc.gnosischain.com/" I don't get any output, just this:

Are there any plans to make a WIndows and Linux app? I would like to use Orchid on these platforms as well.
