Including Duplicati in my ISO - Allowed?

Greetings,

I have a little niche Manjaro Spin that I maintain and I would like to include Duplicati directly in the ISO with no Configuration by the user, does the license for the free version allow that?

Also, just out of curiosity, will there be AppImage support? They are much easier to include in an ISO than a FlatPak?

Great software, very well done!

Hi @delinuxco, welcome to the forum :waving_hand:

Absolutely! Duplicati is licensed under the MIT license so you can freely redistribute both the source and binaries as you please.

We have not started yet on either, but AppImage seems simple enough to do. There is a .zip release of Duplicati which should be very easy to integrate with the ISO image though.

On behalf of all contributors: thanks!

@kenkendk Thank you for the reply, I will definitely include it in my next release as a default installation. I have already figured out how to create a DB key for the user during installation.

As for the AppImage, I am in truth rather package manager agnostic, but the AppImages seem so simple to include in an ISO. I currently have a few apps installed as an AppImage by default, LibreOffice, GIMP, InkScape, Kdenlive, Cinelarra, Darktable etc. They have been extremely stable and easy to upgrade. I basically create an arch Package, for the AppImage, the AppImage is installed in /opt/appimages/ and the package creates a system launcher for it. To the user it is completely transparent and updates happen like any other because I host them on my own repo. The best part is that they are all working on the live ISO.

At any rate, I am rambling on, thanks again for the clarification!

Cheers,

John
