usage (with distrobox)

Create the distrobox:

distrobox create --pull --image ghcr.io/fossrob/pcoip-bx:latest --name pcoip-bx

Or with custom home:

mkdir -p ~/distroboxes
distrobox create --pull --image ghcr.io/fossrob/pcoip-bx:latest --name pcoip-bx --home ~/distroboxes/pcoip-bx

Export the pcoip-client application from the distrobox:

distrobox enter pcoip-bx -- distrobox export --app pcoip-client

After a few seconds you should now have an application in your desktop applications list called PCoIP Client (on pcoip-bx).

running manually

You can execute the application from the commandline with:

distrobox enter pcoip-bx -- pcoip-client

updating

The image builds on a weekly schedule, but after deploying can be updated by distrobox itself.

Outside of the distrobox (i.e. on the "host"):

distrobox upgrade pcoip-bx
