The following servers are currently supported:

Every server can provide import methods, to make data migration easier.
The following import methods are currently supported:

#📦 Packages

There are currently no per-release prebuilt packages available.

You can build the Flatpak yourself or install a nigthly version from our unsigned nightly repo.
The easiest way to do this is to download the .flatpak bundle file from the s3 bucket and install it using a GUI software manager or by opening a terminal in the same directory as the file and running

flatpak install --user icu.ccw.Melon.flatpak

If you want auto updates, you have to add the flatpak repository

# if you have cloned the repository
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists melon-nightly flatpak/melon-nightly.flatpakrepo
# or without cloning the repository
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists melon-nightly https://codeberg.org/comcloudway/melon/raw/branch/main/flatpak/melon-nightly.flatpakrepo

Afterwards, all you have to do is run the install command, and flatpak should automatically resolve the repo.

flatpak install --user icu.ccw.Melon

If you are running an Alpine Linux based distro, like postmarketOS, you can also get the APKBUILD from my personal APKBUILD-repo
