SpiderLily Mac Build Workflow#

Complete Automated Pipeline#

The Mac build workflow now matches the Windows pattern with full automation:

Build on Mac - P4 sync, FMOD fix, BuildCookRun
Copy to local assets - ZIP downloaded to system/public/assets/false.work/
Upload to CDN - npm run assets:sync:up syncs to DigitalOcean Spaces
Update website - Inserts new build entry in builds.false.work/index.html
Git commit & push - Automatic commit with rebase on conflicts

Usage#

From the dev container:

/workspaces/aesthetic-computer/false.work/unreal-builder/scripts/remote-mac-build.fish

This will:

Generate timestamped version (e.g., 2024.11.21-1430)
Build complete Mac package with all shaders
Upload to https://assets.aesthetic.computer/false.work/spiderlily-mac-{version}.zip
Update https://builds.false.work with new download link
Commit and push to GitHub

Architecture#

Dev Container (Fish)
    ↓ SSH (sshpass)
Mac Mini
    ↓ P4 sync
    ↓ FMOD fix
    ↓ BuildCookRun → ~/Builds/{version}/MacNoEditor/
    ↓ ZIP → ~/spiderlily-mac-{version}.zip
    ↓ SCP back to dev container
Dev Container
    ↓ Copy to system/public/assets/false.work/
    ↓ npm run assets:sync:up → DigitalOcean Spaces
    ↓ Update builds.false.work/index.html
    ↓ git commit & push

Files#

remote-mac-build.fish - Main orchestration script (runs from dev container)
build-run-spiderlily.sh - Build script on Mac (accepts version parameter)
builds.false.work/index.html - Website updated with new builds
vault/false.work/mac-builder-credentials.env - SSH credentials
vault/false.work/builds-spaces.env - Not used (uses npm assets:sync instead)

Build Output#

Local: system/public/assets/false.work/spiderlily-mac-{version}.zip
CDN: https://assets.aesthetic.computer/false.work/spiderlily-mac-{version}.zip
Log: https://assets.aesthetic.computer/false.work/spiderlily-mac-{version}.txt
Website: https://builds.false.work (auto-updated)

Comparison with Windows#

Step	Windows	Mac
Orchestration	`windows/remote-update-and-build.fish`	`false.work/unreal-builder/scripts/remote-mac-build.fish`
Remote access	SSH + PowerShell	SSH + Bash
Build script	`build-false-work.ps1`	`build-run-spiderlily.sh`
Upload	`npm run assets:sync:up`	`npm run assets:sync:up`
Website update	AWK insert	AWK insert (same)
Git automation	Auto-rebase on conflict	Auto-rebase on conflict

Both platforms now use the exact same website update and git workflow!

Build Size#

Mac .app bundle: ~4.9 GB
Zipped: ~1.8 GB
Upload time: ~5-10 minutes depending on connection

Next Steps#

Future enhancements:

Add build notifications (Discord/email)
Parallel Mac + Windows builds
Automated testing before deploy
Build artifact retention policy
