Hey guys,
I have build my tauri app on ubuntu18 , while running the app on dev mode all good.
But once i build it. I try to run the appimage, i get CORS issue and terminal shows the following messages:

(process:2619): GLib-Net-WARNING **: 05:42:10.093: couldn't load TLS file database: Failed to open file ?/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt?: No such file or directory

** (testing:2587): WARNING **: 05:42:34.855: atk-bridge: get_device_events_reply: unknown signature

Help appreciated,
Thank you.

Run this

sudo apt install -y ca-certificates
sudo update-ca-certificates

lavish jasper <@329752097530839041> on build machine before compile?

On the machine where you're running the appimage

#

Might also need to be ran on the device building the image

#

It shouldn't be relevant during build because the certificates on the build device shouldn't be added to the appimage

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

Going to try that. ubuntu 18 has webkit2gtk version 2.32.4, which i have been reading it has some bugs that are fixed on later version.
Do you think its worth compiling webkit2gtk on ubuntu18 is worth it, in order to support older OS?

Do not know if its relevant but tauri app is calling letsencrypt ssl enabled site.

lavish jasper Do not know if its relevant but tauri app is calling letsencrypt ssl enabled sit...

That's what I figured, hence why the first thing to try is updating the CA certificates

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:42 AM

#

what i means is my tauri app is calling an api backend that is using ssl letsencrypt

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

Yep

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

I tried on both machines, found out the package already installed

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

Did you also run update-ca-certificates? It's not enough that it's just installed

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

Yes

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

Hmm

#

Does the /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file exist?

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:45 AM

#

nop

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:45 AM

#

That's strange, it should after the command was ran 🤔

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

i have ca-bundle.pem

#

Side question to help me get the big picture, lets assume the problem solved, does that mean, all my tauri.appimage users need to install ca package and then run it to update before actually using my app?

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

How much do you know about how SSL works?

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

average

#

perhabs bellow average

#

consider me SSL noob if it helps

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

Lets see if I can sort of summarize it a bit 🤔

A .pem file is a public key from a server that is SSL encrypted (.pem files can be used for other things but we're talking SSL currently)

In order to encrypt your traffic you use the public key of the server in order to encrypt your data so only the server holding the private key can receive the information

But to make sure there's no shenanigans going on with the keys you use a CA, a Certificate Authority, as an extra part of the encryption process

CA certificates are installed on the users system, and they allow a user to communicate with a lot of SSL encrypted sites where they can trust that the end site is who they say they are because the CA is there

What it says you're missing is the CA certificates on your device. In other words, I'm surprised you're able to access pretty much anything that's SSL encrypted right now. There's probably more root certficates elsewhere on your device, but those are like the main ones most systems should have

#

So in a way, yes, users need to have their CA set up properly, but no they don't technically need that specific package and run stuff to get it

This is a type of thing that's related to their system being messed up basically. If they need to run these commands it's not because your app is missing a dependency or anything like that, it's because their system doesn't have its certificates set up properly to enable proper SSL communication

#

That's at least the gist of how SSL works, I might have some stuff incorrect, I'm tired and this stuff isn't fresh in my head atm 😅

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

Well done. I think am getting there.

public server has rest-api's SSL enabled using letsencrypt.
my machine running my app needs to have the ca-certificates.crt file in order to verify letsencrypt authority, right?

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

Yep

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

You are completley fine, i apprecaite your time here, I am trying to figure out things

#

Going to span fresh vm and test

#

now getting ** WebKit encountered an internal error**

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

Very descriptive 😅

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

I am trying to specify the root cause by gussing before going so deep.
Could it be old version of webkit causing the problem.
Side question:
My understandign of CORS
tauri app needs to "scope": [ "*.*" ]
my res-api enpoint.
and my rest-api endpoit needs to allow
tauri://localhost tauri://localhost/ tauri://localhost/* tauri://localhost.* https://tauri.localhost http://tauri.localhost http://localhost:* https://localhost:*

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

I mean it could, not sure 🤔 Afaik webkitgtk on ubuntu18 should be working, but I also remember vaguely that for Ubuntu we might need to have 20 as the minimum version for some reason that I can't remember at all... Thinking... Hmmm...

While I have some opinions on that (those are going to be pretty permissive) it's essentially correct yes

#

I have a feeling that you might need ubuntu 20 for building but what you build on 20 can be used on 18, something like that, quite possibly related to the webkit version available in the default repos

#

Oh and also, tauri://localhost is what you should need, never like tauri://localhost/*, because the origin isn't supposed to be the entire path requested, just that base domain + port

#

Buuuut some REST API frameworks can be weird about that

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 4:14 AM

#

So, you do confirm generally CORS is fine?
leaving me with a task here. lol.
Going to try upgrading libwebkit with some minor versions and see if that helps. else ubuntu20.
I am not sure if building on ubuntu20 going to work on ubuntu18 as the highest available version is 2.32.4

#

but CORS , do i ahve your confirmation?

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

Looks fine to me, in the Tauri end you need CSP set up (you wrote "scope" but it's the "csp" field you need to configure) https://tauri.app/v1/api/config#securityconfig.csp and in the REST API you need CORS set up. The CORS you listed should be all you need afaik and a bit extra

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

"security": { "csp": null },

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

And afaik the AppImage version should work because it packages the webview then from ubuntu 20. The .deb however might fail

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

Going to do some testing

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

lavish jasper ` "security": { "csp": null },`

null should be fine?

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 4:21 AM

#

lavish jasper null should be fine?

Not sure you can use null for that to disable it 🤔 Though "csp": "default-src *" should work

#

Ofc I gotta hit you with the "OH DEAR PLEASE GOD DON'T NOOooooo...." on using such a permissive CSP, but I'm tired so won't press it 😅

My system time is correct and current, but i personnaly might be an overdone

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 4:31 AM

Hmmmmmmmm... I mean if the TLS certificate is unacceptable I can only think of running sudo update-ca-certificates again then double triple checking that your REST API is actually properly set up to use your SSL certificate

rest-api is being nginx-reverse-proxy and i am 100% sure its working as intended.
I am going to test .deb compiled on 18 and see if itworks on 22. the result should provide some directions i guise

#

.deb compiled on 18 works on 22.
now going to compile 20 and see if it works on 18 appimage wise

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

i only glanced over your messages so apologies if i miss something you said already, but in general here's what's going on: AppImages

#

AppImages will be the death of me i'm not even kidding

#

anyway, certificates are just broken in appimages right now if the build and target systems differ

#

because lo and behold, Linux is being Linux again so the location of the certificates is different across distros, and often across distro versions

#

I also tried copying the certs into the appimage, which is generally super bad but i thought it may be the easiest solution but i couldn't make it pick them up

#

same for telling it about common known system paths, didn't want to use them either.

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 1:56 PM

#

Yea certs should definitely not be copied over

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

@copper meteor I figured I'd sit down for a while and see if I can't make heads or tails of AppImages and share the headache, is this where the main source of your pain resides?
https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/tooling/bundler/src/bundle/linux/appimage.rs
https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/tooling/bundler/src/bundle/linux/templates/appimage

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

edgy grove Yea certs should definitely not be copied over

maybe a necessary evil though, we'll see.

#

Also somewhat relevant: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/7481

#

and yes, i tested the ssl_cert_file/ssl_cert_dir too and couldn't make it work and after hearing that it didn't work for them either i gave up pretty quickly.

#

though i do have it on my todo list to try cert_file again because they only said cert_dir didn't work

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

edgy grove <@195491839741132800> I figured I'd sit down for a while and see if I can't make...

well, that's the nice parts i think. like tauri's entrypoints

#

the pain resides in the appimage format and its ecosystem itself i'd say.

#

or maybe that's a bit unfair since it works for many usecases, but at least not for those using webkitgtk

#

my main headache starts with the fact that because of webkitgtk we can't really go with the "build on the oldest system you want to support" approach. for that we're too dependent on new webkitgtk releases, especially in v2

#

Also, most of the pain i experiences lately was researching linuxdeploy alternatives, but i couldn't make webkitgtk work in them at all (btw, we also have to binary patch the webkitgtk libs for them to work in linuxdeploy appimages too)

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:06 PM

#

Alright, I'll dive into it and see what happens 🙂 Gotta fix the .deb packages as well anyway so yay, reading technical specifications!!

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 3:06 PM

#

Hey guys, I am enjoying this conversation.
Personally my test has failed so far. I should be able to provide more info in the next couple of hours.
Appimage seems to be the only good solution for cross-platform at least how i see it. it saves me time build on one old OS and have it work on all newer once's, but only if could make it work.
Side-questions; I noticed next to deb output there are source files which containes the binary of my app, would it be possible to do a manual rpm using that binary, or there is more to it?

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 3:08 PM

#

I've never built RPM but i know some users have done it manually, not sure if they used that approach, I'm more of a .deb kind of guy 🙂

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

using that binary, or re-using the .deb which we also do for the appimage should be enough yeah. There's also a wip pr https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/pull/5202

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

I am back any update on this?

#

compiled on u20 run on latest tubleweed i get Network Error that is all axios is returning

#

compiled on 20 works on u22

#

talking appimage wise

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

Not really any updates yet, no. For me to provide anything useful I'll first have to get into how our AppImage stuff is set up, read up on specifications, fiddle with the code a bit to understand it, then I can start trying to add anything meaningful to it, which will only be actually meaningful once I've set up a minimal reproduction of your issue

So if you'd like to speed this along a bit you could help me with setting up a minimal repro

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 6:06 PM

#

I will see what i can do. Are you aware of any tauri example that i can start with to make the required changes and then sahre it?

#

Never mind am starting new fresh app, will add axios, some fake api call and see if it reprecuice then will share it

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 6:13 PM

How'd you solve it?

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:35 PM

Yesterday while Simon trying to help the path /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt is missing crt file.
So i been reading docs on certs extra. to find out /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt is just a link of /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem

#

now opensuse tumbleweed for some reason is not creating the file even if i run sudo update-ca-certificates

#

so before i was all confident it is not the issue

#

but after hours 4 hours reading i figured it just now

#

sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:36 PM

because every distro places the file somewhere else because consistency is not a thing in linux land

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:36 PM

is the command you need to create the missing file

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:36 PM

#

lavish jasper `sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt`

cool that this works for you, but that's the thing, it will only work for you. If you ship your appimage to other users it still won't work

#

and the appimage can't create that link automatically either because of sudo

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:37 PM

#

Sad but true

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 7:37 PM

#

Linux is very consistent... Consistently inconsistent 😅

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:37 PM

#

Ok now we know where the issue is i guiose

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:37 PM

#

and that path only works becuase you built on ubuntu where the cert is in that path. If you build on opensuse and run the app on ubuntu (if glibc would allow that), the paths would be swapped

#

meaning it would look for ca-bundle.pem on ubuntu

#

which also likely doesn't exist

OMG. its a loop, is this the matrix movie???

I am just sharing my thoughts out loud, would it make a sense of we could tell app-image, hey if you can not find ca here you find it here

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:40 PM

#

that's what the SSL_CERT_FILE env var is for

#

and SSL_CERT_DIR

#

the latter just doesn't work for anyone

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:40 PM

#

@edgy grove @copper meteor Thanks alot for all the time you guys spent here with me 🙂

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:40 PM

and FILE is supposed to work but it doesn't work for us for some fucking reason

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:41 PM

#

copper meteor and FILE is supposed to work but it doesn't work for us for some fucking reason

i'll try the custom apprun again

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:41 PM

#

I am thinking about the code that is fetching this env var, we could put the 2 strings into an array and tell it to try them

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:41 PM

#

i spent my first 3 months of my current employment researching appimage bullshit so i will be really really mad if i or simon can make it work now

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 7:41 PM

If you wanna be real dirty about it you could create a list of all the locations for distros you support and then prompt for sudo from the user to create the link, but that's a very dirty workaround

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:42 PM

since its constant string either 1 or 2

yeah, that part is easy

lavish jasper since its constant string either 1 or 2

well, more like 10 but the idea is the same

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:42 PM

#

right, do you guys know ehich part of the code responssible for this

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:43 PM

doesn't exist yet

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

I mean if you could save me hours of reading

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

we use the default AppRun

#

let me try a scuffed version of it real quick, don't wanna make you waste your time if the env var above didn't work

sudo is not an option, why do you even need it the location allows read access for non-sudo users

simon was talking about the symlinks

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:45 PM

You need sudo to create the link since the location doesn't allow non-root write

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 7:46 PM

#

edgy grove You need sudo to create the link since the location doesn't allow non-root write

Yup true, i get it now, i thought you were talking about read not actually creating the missing file link. you are right.

but ireally do not want to go that route, its depressing.

I mean maybe will do lighter setup for 32bit support, but i think it is not really worth it as in general the support for 32bit is decreasing

me waiting for linuxdeploy to compress the appimage

alrighty, can you remove the symlink again and run this one? https://cdn.fabianlars.de/tauri/mwt-apprun.AppImage

#

(file's too big for discord)

#

i compiled on ubuntu 2204 so hopefully that won't give us glibc problems

#

i mayyy have messed up, i can't even start that myself lol

#

gonna try the fedora path too real quick

edgy grove Jun 15, 2023, 8:03 PM

I'm so tired right now I actually managed to beak the Ubuntu 18.04 version while trying to fix installing Node.js. Pro tip, don't tell dpkg to install libc6 from a future version of Ubuntu, and ignore its warnings that this is going to break the computer

appimage was broken

but it still didn't work on fedora for me after uncommenting it so gonna try to figure out what's happening

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 8:18 PM

If you have the template maybe i can play with it too

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 8:19 PM

edgy grove Welp this was enough Linux for me today, gonna take a fresh look at it tomorrow ...

Maybe you should try lxd if your aim to run u20 + they have not 18 which i plan on using vbox for it to test if appimages working there

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

lavish jasper If you have the template maybe i can play with it too

not at the stage where i can share something rn. it's not that simple since we have to provide a custom apprun and that can break stuff too

#

gonna get back to you when i do have something

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 8:20 PM

Got it. good work 🙂

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 8:20 PM

lavish jasper Maybe you should try lxd if your aim to run u20 + they have not 18 which i plan ...

you can also customize your own image, logins ..etc have not done that for u18 which i hope somebody already did the image for

copper meteor Jun 15, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

Still doesn't work even though i use the exact same thing the other projects use. I must do something wrong i also did wrong the last time(s) i tried this. Gonna call it a day though but circle back to it tomorrow and try to give you guys a starting point too.

lavish jasper Jun 15, 2023, 9:02 PM

Thank you, sometimes all what you need is a breack from the screen

compiled on u20 run on u18 deos not work. appimage wise.

#

copper meteor Jun 16, 2023, 1:08 AM

#

That's the glibc stuff i mentioned earlier

#

And why you have to compile on the oldest system you want to support

#

In theory there are solutions for that but so far they always broke webkitgtk

lavish jasper I reacll Simon telling me compiling on u20 should run on u18 appimage

Assuming it gets built properly, that's kinda what AppImage is meant to be, bundling all your dependencies in a way where it doesn't matter so much where it gets ran. Clearly however the headache to put that into practise is greater than what was promised when it was first announced 😅 Cross versions of the same distro is effectively the same as cross distro support, if you can use a u20 appimage on for example fedora 38 then it should work on u18 as well, depending on how much the appimage depends on system dependencies, which again what I was promised back when appimage was introduced was the ability to package your dependencies in a way where you could get around all such things 😅

lavish jasper Jun 16, 2023, 1:21 AM

Same for .deb

edgy grove Jun 16, 2023, 1:30 AM

.deb fails when you move it between machines? That makes no sense 🤨 AppImage, sure, but .deb shouldn't fail unless there's something wrong in your code

If you already have the setup from earlier please go ahead and test it.

edgy grove Jun 16, 2023, 2:30 AM

lavish jasper I got this problem with .dep

Looks to me like a simple CORS error from that API

lavish jasper Jun 16, 2023, 2:32 AM

#

check tauri.conf.json, did not we already enable wild card cors

edgy grove Jun 16, 2023, 2:32 AM

#

Either that or libgiognomeproxy is missing

edgy grove Jun 16, 2023, 2:32 AM

#

lavish jasper check tauri.conf.json, did not we already enable wild card cors

CORS and CSP are different things

#

Related, but different

#

CORS is on the server, CSP is on the client

lavish jasper Jun 16, 2023, 2:33 AM

#

"http": { "all": true, "request": true, "scope": [ "https://*.*" ] }

#

is not this wild-card

edgy grove Jun 16, 2023, 2:34 AM

#

It is, for the CSP rules on the client, I'm saying the remote server seems to be rejecting the connection when you're using the origin tauri://

#

The remote server probably just has https://* or something like that

lavish jasper Jun 16, 2023, 2:36 AM

#

do you have a rest api arround that you can test with?

#

to eleminate the possibility that jsonplaceholder is causing cors

edgy grove Jun 16, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

No but I can set up a small actix-web https rest api for testing purposes, it's just... I've slept literally like 3 hours in the past 32 hours, and been to a funeral, I'm exhausted 🙃 So I'd prefer setting up a testing api once this nasty case of insomnia lets go of me

lavish jasper Jun 16, 2023, 2:39 AM

#

I am sorry to hear that. Be well please, no rush at all.

copper meteor Jun 16, 2023, 6:11 AM

#

Yeah, get well bud!

#

And for the cors issue. You can use tauri's http api instead (that's the thing the Allowlist is actually for). cors issues were one of the main reasons for it to exist
