lavadesu / powercord-overlay Goto Github PK

Since Powercord has been declared End of Life, it is no longer maintained.

Replugged appears to be the fork that has arisen, and it is probably a good idea to retarget the powercord input to its repository:
https://github.com/replugged-org/replugged

The ability to use BetterDiscord plugins would be a nice addition as there are some plugins which Powercord is missing.

Heads up that the discord-plugged derivation will break when discord's wrapper gets swapped to makeBinaryWrapper.

Here's an approach which works for both types:

    if grep '\0' $out/opt/DiscordCanary/DiscordCanary && wrapperCmd=$(${makeBinaryWrapper.extractCmd} $out/opt/DiscordCanary/DiscordCanary) && [[ $wrapperCmd ]]; then
      # Binary wrapper
      parseMakeCWrapperCall() {
        shift # makeCWrapper
        oldExe=$1; shift
        oldWrapperArgs=("$@")
      }
      eval "parseMakeCWrapperCall ''${wrapperCmd//"${discord-canary.out}"/"$out"}"
      # Binary wrapper
      makeWrapper $oldExe $out/opt/DiscordCanary/DiscordCanary "''${oldWrapperArgs[@]}" --add-flags "${extraElectronArgs}"
    else
      # Normal wrapper
      substituteInPlace $out/opt/DiscordCanary/DiscordCanary \
      --replace '${discord-canary.out}' "$out" \
      --replace '"$@"' '${extraElectronArgs} "$@"'
    fi

So, I'm not sure what's going on, but powercord isn't working for me anymore. Earlier today, I updated my system and now the binaries installed by your overlay are no longer working. I use a flake to install discord-plugged, and it gives me two binaries: discordcanary and DiscordCanary. I'm not sure what the difference between these two are, but both of these seem to just launch default Discord with no Powercord plugins.

My entire system config is here: https://github.com/IQubic/nixos-config
The things to take note of are this line in flake.nix: https://github.com/IQubic/nixos-config/blob/main/flake.nix#L45
and the entirety of powercord.nix: https://github.com/IQubic/nixos-config/blob/main/hm/powercord.nix

powercord.nix is imported by home.nix, which is referenced in flake.nix.

So, I've just installed this via the overlay, and when I try to run DiscordCanary, I'm told there's a new update, and I have drop down menu where I can select .deb, .tar.gz, or I'll figure it out. How do I disable the automatic update mechanism?

Hi there,

I'm currently working on a Powercord plugin, and I was wondering if there's a good way to add it to pkgs.discord-plugged.override's plugins list without adding it to the Nix store. I currently have the plugin added as a non-flake input in flake.nix that points to my local Git repository, but in the past (on Arch Linux) I would make changes and simply refresh the client on plugin changes, as it was quicker. Is there a way I could do this, adding it to the plugins list as a symlink or something similar so I can develop on it without constantly having to rebuild?

Thanks for this great overlay.

I've got Powercord installed properly, but I can't seem to get it to install plugins and themes. I'm trying to do this in my configuration.nix. Here's the code I have (N.B. irrelevant parts of config trimmed out):

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
let
  powercord-overlay = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/LavaDesu/powercord-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz");
in
{
  nixpkgs.overlays = [ powercord-overlay.overlay ];

  # Packages
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    (discord-plugged.override {
      plugins = [
        (pkgs.fetchTarball "https://github.com/somasis/discord-tokipona/archive/master.tar.gz")
        (pkgs.fetchTarball "https://github.com/Vap0r1ze/vpc-shiki/archive/main.tar.gz")
        (pkgs.fetchTarball "https://github.com/intrnl/powercord-read-all/archive/master.tar.gz")
      ];
      themes = [
        (pkgs.fetchTarball "https://github.com/NYRI4/Comfy/archive/master.tar.gz")
      ];
    })
  ];
}

Attempting to rebuild this config with nixos-rebuild --switch gives this error (N.B. line numbers aren't really meaningful, because I've not shown the whole configuration.nix):

building Nix...
building the system configuration...
error: attribute 'fetchTarball' missing

       at /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:92:10:

           91|       plugins = [
           92|         (pkgs.fetchTarball "https://github.com/somasis/discord-tokipona/archive/master.tar.gz")
             |          ^
           93|         (pkgs.fetchTarball "https://github.com/Vap0r1ze/vpc-shiki/archive/main.tar.gz")

I think the use of with pkgs; is shadowing the pkgs input from the top of the file. I'm not really sure how to fix that.

EDIT: Just tried changing pkgs.fetchTarball to builtins.fetchTarball in all 4 instances. This has not made the rebuild work any better:

           16|         inherit (drv) outPath;

Is there a way to use OpenAsar with this overlay?
