# Even though pCloud Drive is redistributed as a plug-n-play AppImage, it # requires a little bit more love because of the way Nix launches those types # of applications. # # What Nix does, simplifying a bit, is that it extracts an AppImage and starts # it via buildFHSUserEnv - this is totally fine for majority of apps, but makes # it by-design *impossible* to launch SUID wrappers [^1]; in case of pCloud, # it's fusermount. # (so pCloud starts, but silently fails to mount the FUSE drive.) # # To overcome this issue, we're manually extracting the AppImage and then treat # it as if it was a regular, good-ol' application requiring some standard path # fixes. # # ^1 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/69338 { # Build dependencies appimageTools, autoPatchelfHook, fetchzip, lib, stdenv # Runtime dependencies; # A few additional ones (e.g. Node) are already shipped together with the # AppImage, so we don't have to duplicate them here. , alsa-lib, dbus-glib, fuse, gnome, gsettings-desktop-schemas, gtk3, libdbusmenu-gtk2, libXdamage, nss, udev }: let pname = "pcloud"; version = "1.9.3"; code = "XZh0QTXZIYkI66plpzLAJ4G2mwDvJFvKvEzy"; name = "${pname}-${version}"; # Archive link's code thanks to: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=pcloud-drive src = fetchzip { url = "https://api.pcloud.com/getpubzip?code=${code}&filename=${name}.zip"; hash = "sha256-NFbSYZRysRIg6q0aaDocpK7xJbiCWc1S0McXKlCRGjU="; }; appimageContents = appimageTools.extractType2 { inherit name; src = "${src}/pcloud"; }; in stdenv.mkDerivation { inherit pname version; src = appimageContents; dontConfigure = true; dontBuild = true; nativeBuildInputs = [ autoPatchelfHook ]; buildInputs = [ alsa-lib dbus-glib fuse gtk3 libdbusmenu-gtk2 libXdamage nss udev ]; installPhase = '' mkdir "$out" cp -ar .
