Chat2API 管理器 - 统一管理多个 AI 服务提供商,提供 OpenAI 兼容 API 接口

Authors: wxs0625

Compatibility: Uses the C library of the system (may need glibc 2.25 or later)


Usage

Chat2API-WXS is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!

AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.

This AppImage uses the C library of the system and may need glibc 2.25 or later. It does not run on distributions that use a different C library (such as musl on Alpine Linux) or an older glibc.

Running Chat2API-WXS on Linux without installation

Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.

Beware! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!

Download the Chat2API-WXS AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:

chmod +x ./*.AppImage

Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.

Sandboxing Chat2API-WXS

If you want to restrict what Chat2API-WXS can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.

Updating Chat2API-WXS

If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Chat2API-WXS AppImage.

Integrating AppImages into the system

If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Chat2API-WXS and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.


Note for application authors

Thanks for distributing Chat2API-WXS in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.

Pro Tips for further enhancing the Chat2API-WXS AppImage

Please consider to add update information to the Chat2API-WXS AppImage and ship a .zsync file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.

Please consider making the Chat2API-WXS AppImage self-contained, so that it does not depend on the C library of the system and runs on more distributions: ship the C library including its loader (ld-linux-*.so.*) and use it to launch the application, or link statically, and use the current, statically linked AppImage runtime.

Improve this entry by shipping an AppStream metainfo file inside the AppImage in the usr/share/metainfo directory. There is an online tool that makes it easy to make one.
