Thanks for this. Looks like it's time for me to figure out Nix packages.

It's pretty easy. Basically follow the instructions at https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ch-installing-binary and then `nix-env -i mullvad-vpn`.

It's pretty easy. Basically follow the instructions at https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ch-installing-binary and then `nix-env -i mullvad-vpn`.

(Though the installer expects systemd; but it's easy enough to add `~user/.nix-profile/bin/nix-daemon &` to your `/etc/rc.local` or whatever to start the Nix daemon.)

(Though the installer expects systemd; but it's easy enough to add `~user/.nix-profile/bin/nix-daemon &` to your `/etc/rc.local` or whatever to start the Nix daemon; or create a runit script.)

@esmoak FYI: I've written a WireGuard-specific interface to Mullvad which is a bit simpler (and much faster): https://gitlab.com/emacsomancer/volemad

Comment:
I'd like to try and package mullvad, but I haven't written any such package yet and the build seems rather complicated as it builds multiple things with different languages and tools.

Comment:
Hello everyone, I have created an init script for MullVad VPN and have tested it on my void linux install. I am working on creating an xbps package, but I have never packaged a program before so that might take a while. IN the meantime, do this to get it working on your runit based system.
Extract the deb archive using `ar x` and then extract the data.tar.xz file into a folder named mullvad. Then cd into that directory and copy the opt and usr folders to / 

Then after that, go either into `/etc/sv/` or `/etc/runit/sv/` and create a folder named mullvad. cd into that directory and then do `touch run && chmod +x run` as root.

Edit the file with any text editor and then put this in there:

`#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
sv check dbus > /dev/null || exit 1
exec /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon -v --disable-stdout-timestamps
`

Save the file and then `sudo ln -s ` from either `/etc/sv/mullvad` or `/etc/runit/sv` to either `/var/service` or `/run/runit/service`

I made this script to install/update mullvad on void if anyone is interested. I'll try to make a package building from source when I have time.
