Unraid API

Building the binary

To create a build using nexe run these commands on a completely UP TO DATE UNRAID machine.

Setup build environment

# Install node deps
npm i -g nexe del-cli move-file-cli
# Setup our directory
mkdir /sandbox && cd /sandbox
# Copy our source package
cp /boot/config/plugins/dynamix.my.servers/unraid-api.tgz .
# Decompress the source
tar xvzf ./unraid-api.tgz
# Rename the directory and enter it
mv package/ unraid-api && cd unraid-api
# Run nexe to build the binary
npm run build-binary -s
# Go back to the parent directory
cd ..

At this point we should have this.

Building the new tgz

# Rename so the install thinks this is a normal npm tgz
mv unraid-api package
# Package the new binary and associated files
tar zcvf unraid-api-v$(grep '"version"' ./package/package.json | cut -d '"' -f 4)-nexe.tgz package

We should end up with this.
