WSUS-like solution for LAN deployment of apps

Submitted by cubiclesoft on July 22, 2021 - 10:45am

Just released a little project I've been working on for the last few weeks:

https://github.com/cubiclesoft/portable-apps-mirror-proxy

It's a mirror/proxy server for the Portable Apps platform designed for LAN usage. Kind of WSUS-like but specifically for use with the client updater software via its HTTP(S) proxy configuration mechanism.

documentation for portable apps launcher code

Submitted by robert2019 on July 12, 2021 - 6:04am

I want to modify the code for the launcher and contribute my mod back to the community. I can't find any documentation for the code. Am I looking in the wrong place? I looked at github and I looked in the development section of the portable apps website. Yes I can read the code but that would take a while.

Cloud drive portable app

Submitted by portiappi on July 10, 2021 - 2:39am

Is there a portableapps version of DropBox, OneDrive or other?
I run portable apps from within an encrypted VeraCrypt container on my work computer. I'd like to sync the contents of my PortableApps Documents folder without installing or logging in to a cloud service outside of the encrypted container.

Searching for portableapps cloud results in instructions how to run portable apps from a cloud service, so I'm aware that what I'm looking for may be backwards.
Thanks

How to uninstall

Submitted by Logicalron on June 30, 2021 - 11:51pm

I wanted to install Clipmate on a USB drive thinking that I could have a completely different database than the clipmate on my PC. IN the instructions it said to installed portable apps before installing the usb version of clipmate.

What I wanted clipmate to do isn't working so I want to uninstall it and since I only used portable apps to install the ortable clipmate I would like to uninstall each on the usb drive.

Is it as easy as deleting the things on the USb drive that were added or is there a clean uninstall process for both portable apps and portable clipmate?

Force Notepad++ to use 32-bit version?

TextFX.dll is a 32-bit Notepad++ plugin which hasn't been updated for donkey's years but is still very useful with unique features. It's not compatible with 64-bit Notepad++.

Is there a way of forcing PortableApps to use the 32-bit version? I have seen that this can be done for Firefox, but no mention of Notepad++.

Please don't ask me to find alternative solutions, there's pages of bickering about that on the Notepad++ forums! Smile

many thanks

Regarding the WISE portable apps

Submitted by Oldspice68 on June 17, 2021 - 2:03am

Hi John, i must report that regarding the WISE portables you have here.
These programs can ruin a windows system when used by newbies etc.
The Registry cleaner system tune up can destroy a win system within seconds.
Could you please do a review and maybe remove all WISE programs for your site.
Also newbies and users without proper firewall protection are at risk with these programs from spyware.
WISE are a CHINA based and i seriously recomend you remove ALL the WISE portables from your downloads.
thanks and regards
