LocalPiped

Package Piped (Fronend + Backend) to run locally. This will significantly rise your chances to not get blocked by Google without self-hosting.

Build and Use

Dependencies

• Linux
• git
• wget
• JDK 21
• Node.js, pnpm
• curl (for uploadArtifact.sh)
• fuse (for Appimage)

AppImage

To build an AppImage to run Piped on your PC:

cd Appimage
./build.sh

This will result in the file LocalPiped-x86_64.AppImage. Run it and then open http://localhost:8171 in your browser.
Alternatively you can use an exiting instance and enter http://localhost:8170 as the API URL.

Per default, it will create a temporary db at /tmp/localpiped.db. If you want to store the data persistent, set a jdbc-url for the db it the env-variable hibernate_connection_url. Example: hibernate_connection_url="jdbc:sqlite:/home/user/Documents/localpiped.db"

Build Env-Vars

• NO_BUILD_DEP: if set, build will skip the build of all subcomponents
• NO_BUILD_FESERVER: if set, the frontendserver subcomponent will not be build (but the existing executable will be used)
• FRONTEND_KEEP_GIT: if set, the sources for the frontend will be kept as is; otherwise the latest commit will be pulled and the patches applied
• BACKEND_KEEP_GIT: if set, the sources for the backend will be kept as is; otherwise the latest commit will be pulled and the patches applied
• PROXY_KEEP_IMG: if set, the docker-image for the pipedproxy will not be deleted after the executable is extracted

Misc

uploadArtifact.sh

This script is used to upload built artifacts to a GitLab package-registry.

To use it, copy env.sh.template to env.sh and fill in the required fields. Then just run for example uploadArtifact.sh.
With the env-var FILE_NAME you can set the name of the uploaded artifact. With PKG_TYPE you can set the showed package-type (default is AppImage).
