@sunuxi, seems like an issue that you would post to the GitHub page (https://github.com/TibixDev/winboat/issues). But to answer your question partially here: how do you run your container? Via Docker, Podman, Docker Compose? It seems like one of the ports is not open in the configuration (docker-compose.yml) or when using straight Docker they might have forgotten to add -p 4727:47272 or something similar.

Anyways, try asking on the GitHub with more details on how you installed it, which virtualisation stack you're using and see if you get a response.

This thread is about the PKGBUILD for Arch specifically, seems like you installed it correctly and it's just a config issue.

@yochananmarqos fixed, thanks

@ArjixWasTaken: libxcrypt-compat is only required to build, it is not a runtime dependency.

@patlefort done!

patlefort commented on 2026-02-14 21:03 (UTC)

Please add libxcrypt-compat to depends=().

Sorry for not noticing any time sooner, thanks for the patch @VB2007 and @UnaTried

PS: imagemagick was removed by the package owner, https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=winboat&id=12903fc3cacb50f09b5ebf942595a3d4d3478842

It's based on VB2007's answer

VB2007 commented on 2026-02-07 02:31 (UTC)

As mentioned below, some issues are still present in the PKGBUILD file and a dependency is missing.

I've got the first build error:

/home/vb2007/.cache/yay/winboat/PKGBUILD: line 55: magick: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: winboat-exit status 4

Then fixed it by installing the imagemagick package.

Then the second build error:

magick: MissingArgument `-resize' at CLI arg 4 @ fatal/magick-cli.c/ProcessCommandOptions/676.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: winboat-exit status 4

A space is still missing at the 55th line between the resize geometry and the output path:

..."${i}x${i}" "dist...

Plus the install command for the icons is currently placed after the done keyword, so it only installs the 512px icon. It must be moved inside the for loop:

for i in 16 32 48 ...

  install -Dm644 "dist/.icon-set/icon_${i}x${i}.png" \
    "$pkgdir/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${i}x${i}/apps/$pkgname.png"
done

After these manual fixes, the package was built & installed successfully.

Hi, I have the following

Maybe libxcrypt-compat should be required as dependency?
