# Iceblock releases
|
|
|
|
Iceblock keeps your files on every device you own, with no cloud in between. Lose a device and you lose nothing. See [iceblock.tricauda.com](https://iceblock.tricauda.com) for what it is and how it works.
|
|
|
|
Iceblock is an early alpha. Keep your usual copies of anything you can't afford to lose while you try it.
|
|
|
|
**[Download the latest release](https://git.tricauda.com/iceblock/releases/releases/latest)**. Each release has its notes, and the files below.
|
|
|
|
## Android™, with Obtainium
|
|
|
|
Iceblock isn't in the Play Store yet. [Obtainium](https://obtainium.imranr.dev) installs it and tells you when there's an update.
|
|
|
|
1. Install Obtainium (version 1.6.16 or later).
|
|
2. In Obtainium, tap **Add app**, and for the app source URL, enter `https://git.tricauda.com/iceblock/releases`.
|
|
3. Set **Override source** to **Forgejo (Codeberg)**, then tap the **+** beside the address.
|
|
4. Tap **Install**. If your phone asks, allow Obtainium to install apps.
|
|
|
|
When there's a new version, Obtainium offers it. Tap **Update**, and your files and settings stay as they are.
|
|
|
|
(Or download `iceblock-<version>.apk` from a release and open it, but then you won't hear about updates.)
|
|
|
|
## Linux®
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 or anything newer.
|
|
|
|
**Ubuntu and Debian, with apt,** which also brings each update:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo curl -fsSL https://git.tricauda.com/api/packages/iceblock/debian/repository.key -o /etc/apt/keyrings/iceblock.asc
|
|
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/iceblock.asc] https://git.tricauda.com/api/packages/iceblock/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iceblock.list
|
|
sudo apt update && sudo apt install iceblock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Iceblock is then in your applications, and starts whenever you log in.
|
|
|
|
**Ubuntu and Debian, the package on its own:** from the latest release, download `iceblock_<version>_amd64.deb`, and open it with your software installer, or in a terminal, in the folder it's in:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install ./iceblock_*_amd64.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's apt too, so what Iceblock needs comes with it. But it doesn't bring updates: install the next release the same way, or use the commands above, which do.
|
|
|
|
**Anywhere else,** from the latest release:
|
|
|
|
1. Download `iceblock-linux-x64.tar.gz`.
|
|
2. Unpack it wherever you'd like Iceblock to live, such as your home folder.
|
|
3. In the `iceblock` folder, run `install.sh`. That adds Iceblock to your applications, and starts it whenever you log in. (`install.sh --uninstall` removes both again.)
|
|
4. Open Iceblock from your applications.
|
|
|
|
To update, quit Iceblock from its icon in the top bar, unpack the new release over the old one, and open it again. Your files and settings are kept elsewhere.
