system to be able to use the mediaplayer. Problem with the AppImage ?
Check the wiki <https://gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek/-/wikis/AppImage#troubleshooting>
_
or file an issue <https://gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek/-/issues/new>
_
On MacOS: After opening/mounting the DMG image, hold Control and click on the
galacteek icon, and select Open and accept. You probably need to
allow the system to install applications from anywhere in the security
settings. Create an issue <https://gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek/-/issues/new>
_ if you have problems running the DMG image.
On Windows: GIT is not packaged in the installer. Install it here <https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.29.2.windows.2/Git-2.29.2.2-64-bit.exe>
.
If you run into an issue with the installer, please create an issue here <https://gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek/-/issues/new>
.
You'll need to have git installed to sync hashmarks repositories.
Docker images are available. They run the full GUI inside a virtual Xorg server (using Xvfb). A VNC server runs on TCP port 5900 of the container, just use a regular VNC client to access the interface. The password to access the VNC service is printed to the console when starting the container.
Pull the image and run it with::
docker pull registry.gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek-installer:pimp-my-dweb-latest-x11vnc
docker run -p 5900:5900 -t registry.gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek-installer:pimp-my-dweb-latest-x11vnc
If you want to persist the container's galacteek data on your system, use the following::
mkdir /usr/local/galacteek-docker
docker run -p 5900:5900 -v /usr/local/galacteek-docker:/home/galacteek -t registry.gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek-installer:pimp-my-dweb-latest-x11vnc
Open your VNC client using the container's IP address (port 5900) using the password issued on the container's console.
You can view all the available docker images
here in the container registry <https://gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek/container_registry/2285145>

Browsing the Wikipedia mirror over IPFS
galacteek can either spawn an IPFS daemon and use it as transport, or
connect to an existing IPFS daemon. By default it will try to run a daemon. You
can change the IPFS connection settings by clicking on the settings icon in the
toolbar and restart the application afterwards. If using a custom daemon, you
should enable pubsub and p2p streams, or some features won't be available
(Check this page <https://gitlab.com/galacteek/galacteek/-/wikis/Configure-your-daemon>
_
for more information).
(Features list <https://galacteek.gitlab.io/features/>
_
Use the -d command-line switch to enable debugging output. Using --profile gives you the ability to have separate application profiles (main is the default profile). Use --help for all options.
If you've changed some settings and want to go back to the default configuration, use --config-defaults.
You can run the IPFS daemon in offline mode, using --offline
Time-rotated log files can be found in the $HOME/.local/share/galacteek/main/logs directory
Enable colorized log output with --log-color
Development: Use --monitor to enable event-loop monitoring with aiomonitor_ (install aiomonitor_ manually as it's not a dependency). Then connect to the aiomonitor_ interface with nc localhost 50101
Please see the shortcuts_ page (or from the application, click on the Information icon in the toolbar, which will open the documentation).
For instructions on how to build the application, look at the BUILDING_ page.
