https://www.electron.build/multi-platform-build This page makes it sound like you can do it, but doesn't seem to explain how?

Thanks very much for any help.

electron build service is launched. Please try 19.47.1. No announce — silent launch :)

Install Docker and see info about docker usage on the https://www.electron.build/multi-platform-build

Or wait 2 days — on Sunday/Monday will be launched free electron build service to build Electron app on any OS for any OS (for now, will be only for Linux).

You can try experimental build server to build appimage— set env:

_REMOTE_BUILD=true
ELECTRON_BUILD_SERVICE_ENDPOINT=45.63.115.123

and electron-builder version to 19.46.6.

Current limitation — icon is not applied.

@develar Thanks very much for taking the time to respond. There's a service coming in just a few days to make building for any OS easier? Is there any more info on that yet? It sounds like I should just wait for that.

I studied the multi-platform-build doc, but it seemed only to have a Docker command that would run in a Linux environment unless I'm missing something.

I appreciate this very personal announcement you've made for me, as well as the great work you all do!

I'm going to try this right now. Thanks very much @develar
