NyaMisty / AltServer-Linux

The endpoint for obtaining anisette data is currently hardwired to use armconverter.com (i.e., sideloadly.io):

AltServer-Linux/src/AnisetteDataManager.cpp

Line 76 in a9f97b7

auto client = web::http::client::http_client(U("https://armconverter.com"));

This single point of failure could become invalid in a variety of ways without any advance warning or recourse.

I've created an aniserve.swift microservice that serves anisette data via HTTP from a mac that is running the AltServer mail plug-in, using the same JSON structure as that returned from armconverter.

Adding a flag to AltServer-Linux that enables a customizable URL (or, ideally, multiple customizable URLs that would be attempted round-robin-style) would enable people to run anisette servers, either on their local network or publicly, that would more reliably return valid and up-to-date anisette data for AltServer to use.

I envision using it something like this, where each server specified with multiple -q flags would be attempted until one of them returns a valid payload:

./AltServer -u [UDID] -a [AppleID account] -p [AppleID password] \
    -q http://192.168.200.1:6969/anisette \
    -q http://somehelpfuldude.net:6969/anisette \
    -q http://anotherhelpfuldude.org:6969/anisette \
    -q https://armconverter.com/anisette/irGb3Quww8zrhgqnzmrx \
    -q https://sideloadly.io/anisette/irGb3Quww8zrhgqnzmrx

Good finding! Would you prefer to make this a PR instead?

Is the <com.apple.AuthKit/1 (com.apple.mail/3608.120.23.2.4)> been block by the apple? first url, I can login, but later, I crashed.

@zenochen pls also try my hub.docker.com/r/nyamisty/alt_anisette_server, which is based on AltServer-Windows and wine

hub.docker.com/r/nyamisty/alt_anisette_server

didn't work, responsed with empty page.

I use your code to compile for testing.

@zenochen pls also try my hub.docker.com/r/nyamisty/alt_anisette_server, which is based on AltServer-Windows and wine

I used your AltWindowsAnisette.exe in windows, It works, Thanks.

I mean to use my docker lol, if it returns empty, pls try re-run the docker.
I've tested it on Github Actions. Feel free to share your terminal output in case it still fails

Also @zenochen pls add my discord, the altserver discord seems kicked you :(

I haven't used a docker before, and I pull it into my qnap nas, failed to run. So I given up. I wrote another wrap in springboot, which is only one jar to run, but the core is your AltWindowsAnisette.exe. It works fine, I used in my project for one day, and have processed about 300 times Authentication.

I will share it, If someone like it

Good, but that would require a Windows serverto run right? The docker can be run in a pure Linux environment.

Also, AltServer-Linux supports specifying anisette server via environment variable now ;)

Could you please share this with me?

You don't need that.
Simply download the exe files in the alt-anisette-server repo, and run them would be sufficient ;)
