Changelog:

• Fixed the self-update function (-u). It was completely broken in the previous release, now it should work.
• The self-update function now uses packages from your local pacman cache if it exists. This may speed up the update process and save internet traffic in some cases.
• Doubled the DwarFS filesystem cache.
• Added the ability to install AUR packages (when building Conty manually).
• Integrated utils updated to the latest versions.

Usage:

$ chmod +x conty.sh
$ ./conty.sh [command] [arguments]

Versions:

• The lite version (conty_lite.sh) includes everything from the regular version (conty.sh), except for: base-devel, gcc, mingw-w64-gcc, firefox, meson, cmake, jre-openjdk, multimc5 and qbittorrent. If you don't plan to use any of these programs, i recommend to use the lite version.
• conty_wine.sh contains only Wine and its dependencies. Note that the other Conty versions include Wine too, but if you only need Wine and nothing else, you can use this Conty version, it takes up less disk space than the others.
• conty_dwarfs.sh, conty_lite_dwarfs.sh and conty_wine_dwarfs.sh are the same as the regular versions, except they are compressed with DwarFS instead of SquashFS, thus they take less disk space. Apart from better compression, DwarFS also has better caching and better multithreading support, and in my experience it reads compressed files noticeably faster than SquashFS (specifically squashfuse). However, the benefit of squashfuse is that it uses less memory.

zsync files are for the zsync2 program. If you have any of the previous releases of Conty downloaded, you can use zsync2 to reduce data needed for downloading a new release. This may be useful if you have slow internet connection or internet data cap. Read zsync manual for more information. Please note that zsync may sometimes not reduce the amount of downloaded data by much (for example, if the new Conty release is significantly different from one you are currently using).

Changelog:

• Fuse-overlayfs replaced with unionfs-fuse, which works faster and supports both fuse2 and fuse3.
• Fixed USE_OVERLAYFS and NVIDIA_HANDLER functions so they should now work on all distros, in the previous release they were broken and worked only on Arch-based distros.
• Fixed Conty execution when it resides in PATH.

Changelog:

• Conty is even more portable now, it no longer depends on system-wide bash, tar and gzip. So the only dependencies now are fuse and coreutils.
• Improved the NVIDIA_HANDLER function and enabled by default (you can still disable it if you want).
• Added USE_OVERLAYFS function, which allows to modify read-only system files inside the container without rebuilding the image.
• Added CUSTOM_MNT function, which allows to use Conty with already mounted filesystems and directory structures.
• Reworked the self-update function. It uses fuse-overlayfs now instead of extracting the whole image, so the update process should be faster.
• Added en_SG, id_ID and hi_IN locales.
• Also, weekly releases of Conty are now available on Github Actions, although there is only one squashfs version of Conty there currently.

Changelog:

• Added a simple graphical interface, which is used by default when Conty launched without any arguments not from a terminal emulator (for example, from a file manager or from a desktop file). If you want, you can also run the GUI from a terminal by using the -g argument.

  How it looks

  

• Added NVIDIA_HANDLER function, which should fix issues related to Nvidia GPUs and the proprietary driver versions mismatch between the host system and the container. If you are using an Nvidia GPU and encountering any issues running any graphical applications (including games), please try this new feature and let me know if it fixes your issues or not, i would appreciate any feedback. It is disabled by default, but can be enabled like this:

   $ NVIDIA_HANDLER=1 ./conty.sh [command] [arguments]
  

Usage:

$ chmod +x conty.sh

Changelog:

Changelog:

• Added duckstation-git (binary name is duckstation-qt)
• Conty no longer automatically binds (mounts) host system's /opt if there are files inside Conty's /opt. This is needed because some packages are installed into /opt. You can still manually bind your /opt, if you want.

Versions:

• The lite version (conty_lite.sh) includes everything from the regular version (conty.sh), except for: gcc, mingw-w64-gcc, firefox, meson, cmake, jre-openjdk, multimc5 and qbittorrent. If you don't plan to use any of these programs, i recommend to use the lite version.
• conty_dwarfs.sh and conty_lite_dwarfs.sh are the same as the regular versions, except they are compressed with DwarFS instead of SquashFS, thus they take less disk space. Apart from better compression, DwarFS also has better caching and better multithreading support, and in my experience it reads compressed files noticeably faster than SquashFS (specifically squashfuse). However, the benefit of squashfuse is that it uses less memory.
• conty_wine.sh contains only Wine and its dependencies. Note that the other Conty versions include Wine too, but if you only need Wine and nothing else, you can use this Conty version, it takes up less disk space than the others.

zsync files are for the zsync2 program. If you have any of the previous releases of Conty downloaded, you can use zsync2 to reduce data needed for downloading a new release. This may be useful if you have slow internet connection or internet data cap. Read zsync manual for more information. Please note that zsync may sometimes not reduce the amount of downloaded data by much (for example, if the new Conty release is significantly different from the one you are currently using).
