Changelog:

  • Conty is even more portable now, it no longer depends on system-wide bash, tar and gzip. So the only dependencies now are fuse and coreutils.
  • Improved the NVIDIA_HANDLER function and enabled by default (you can still disable it if you want).
  • Added USE_OVERLAYFS function, which allows to modify read-only system files inside the container without rebuilding the image.
  • Added CUSTOM_MNT function, which allows to use Conty with already mounted filesystems and directory structures.
  • Reworked the self-update function. It uses fuse-overlayfs now instead of extracting the whole image, so the update process should be faster.
  • Added en_SG, id_ID and hi_IN locales.
  • Also, weekly releases of Conty are now available on Github Actions, although there is only one squashfs version of Conty there currently.

Usage:

$ chmod +x conty.sh
$ ./conty.sh [command] [arguments]

Versions:

  • The lite version (conty_lite.sh) includes everything from the regular version (conty.sh), except for: base-devel, gcc, mingw-w64-gcc, firefox, meson, cmake, jre-openjdk, multimc5 and qbittorrent. If you don't plan to use any of these programs, i recommend to use the lite version.
  • conty_wine.sh contains only Wine and its dependencies. Note that the other Conty versions include Wine too, but if you only need Wine and nothing else, you can use this Conty version, it takes up less disk space than the others.
  • conty_dwarfs.sh, conty_lite_dwarfs.sh and conty_wine_dwarfs.sh are the same as the regular versions, except they are compressed with DwarFS instead of SquashFS, thus they take less disk space. Apart from better compression, DwarFS also has better caching and better multithreading support, and in my experience it reads compressed files noticeably faster than SquashFS (specifically squashfuse). However, the benefit of squashfuse is that it uses less memory.

zsync files are for the zsync2 program. If you have any of the previous releases of Conty downloaded, you can use zsync2 to reduce data needed for downloading a new release. This may be useful if you have slow internet connection or internet data cap. Read zsync manual for more information. Please note that zsync may sometimes not reduce the amount of downloaded data by much (for example, if the new Conty release is significantly different from one you are currently using).

If you are using an Nvidia GPU, please read this information.
