Armasync

A native Linux Arma3Sync replacement for Arma 3 unit play, retaining the familiar tab-based workflow while integrating Steam/Proton launching and TeamSpeak radio setup.

Armasync includes addon discovery and ordered groups, Arma3Sync-compatible repository synchronization (FTP/HTTP(S)) with live progress and transfer controls, player and server configuration, Windows TeamSpeak 3 radio setup (ACRE2 and TFAR), and troubleshooting tools.

New here? The user guide walks you from a fresh install to playing with working radio.

Installation

Arch Linux (and derivatives like CachyOS, EndeavourOS, Manjaro):

yay -S armasync-bin

Debian / Ubuntu: download the .deb from the latest release, then:

sudo apt install ./Armasync_*_amd64.deb

Fedora: download the .rpm from the latest release, then:

sudo dnf install ./Armasync-*.x86_64.rpm

Other distributions: grab the .AppImage from the latest release, make it executable (chmod +x), and run it.

Requirements

The GUI libraries (WebKitGTK 4.1, GTK 3) are declared as package dependencies and installed automatically with the deb/rpm/AUR packages.

Host tools Armasync uses at runtime — install these from your distribution:

To play:

• Steam with Arma 3 installed and a Proton compatibility tool enabled for it.

For TeamSpeak voice — ACRE2 and/or TFAR (optional):

• protontricks (provides protontricks and protontricks-launch). Install the distro package or pipx install protontricks — the Flatpak build is not sufficient, since Armasync needs both binaries on PATH.
• PipeWire with WirePlumber (wpctl) and pipewire-pulse — the default audio stack on current Fedora, Ubuntu, and Arch installs.

For restore points and support bundles (optional):

• tar and zstd (present by default on nearly every distribution).

Armasync checks for these at startup and shows what's missing and how to install it; the Troubleshooting tab runs the same checks on demand.

Planned

• Swifty repository support — a second manifest adapter for Swifty's repo.json/.srf format, reusing the existing verify/download engine. Arma3Sync-compatible repositories are fully supported today.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev

For a browser-only UI preview, run pnpm dev.

Build the optimized native executable with pnpm tauri build.
