# Warp
|
|
Warp lets you create self-contained single binary applications making it simpler and more ergonomic to deliver your application to your customers. A self-contained binary is specially convenient when the technology you use, such as .NET Core, Java and others, contain many dependencies that must be shipped alongside your application.
|
|
|
|
Warp is supported on Linux, Windows and macOS.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart with .NET Core
|
|
### Linux
|
|
**Create a simple console application**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ mkdir myapp
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ cd myapp
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ dotnet new console
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ dotnet run
|
|
Hello World!
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Publish the application with native installer for `linux-x64` runtime**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-x64
|
|
```
|
|
The application should be published to `bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/linux-x64/publish/`
|
|
|
|
**Download `warp-packer`**
|
|
|
|
If you save `warp-packer` in a directory in your PATH, you only need to download it once.
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ curl -Lo warp-packer https://github.com/dgiagio/warp/releases/download/v0.1.0/linux-x64.warp-packer
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ chmod +x warp-packer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Create your self-contained application**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ ./warp-packer --arch linux-x64 --input_dir bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/linux-x64/publish --exec myapp --output myapp
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ chmod +x myapp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Run your self-contained application**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ ./myapp
|
|
Hello World!
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$
|
|
```
|
|

|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ file myapp
|
|
myapp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=13b12e71a63ca1de8537ad7e90c83241f9f87f6c, with debug_info, not stripped
|
|

dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ du -hs myapp
|
|
34M myapp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
**Create a simple console application**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
Diegos-iMac:Devel dgiagio$ mkdir myapp
|
|
Diegos-iMac:Devel dgiagio$ cd myapp
|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ dotnet new console
|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ dotnet run
|
|
Hello World!
|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Publish the application with native installer for `osx-x64` runtime**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ dotnet publish -c Release -r osx-x64
|
|
```
|
|
The application should be published to `bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/osx-x64/publish/`
|
|
|
|
**Download `warp-packer`**
|
|
|
|
If you save `warp-packer` in a directory in your PATH, you only need to download it once.
|
|
```sh
|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ curl -Lo warp-packer https://github.com/dgiagio/warp/releases/download/v0.1.0/macos-x64.warp-packer
|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ chmod +x warp-packer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Create your self-contained application**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ ./warp-packer --arch macos-x64 --input_dir bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/osx-x64/publish --exec myapp --output myapp
|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ chmod +x myapp
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ ./myapp
|
|
Hello World!

## Quickstart with Java
|
|
_In progress_
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
Warp is a multi-platform tool written in Rust and is comprised of two programs: `warp-runner` and `warp-packer`.
|
|
|
|
The final self-contained single binary application consists of two parts: 1) runner and 2) the compressed target application executable and dependencies.
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://image.ibb.co/bBe669/warp_app_binary.png" width="272">
|
|
|
|
`warp-runner` is a stub application that knows how to find the compressed payload within its own binary, perform exraction to a local cache and execute the target application.
|
|
|
|
The extraction process only happens the first time the application is ran, or when the self-contained application binary is updated.
|
|
|
|
`warp-packer` is a CLI application that's used to create the self-contained application binary by downloading the correct `warp-runner` for the chosen platform, compressing the target application and generating the final application.
|
|
|
|
### Performance
|
|
The performance characteristics of the generated self-contained application is roughly the same of original application, except for the first time it's ran as the target application and its dependencies have to be decompressed to a local cache.
|
|
|
|
### Cache location
|
|
- Linux: `$HOME/.local/share/warp`
|
|
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/warp`
|
|
- Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\warp`
