SideServer for Linux

SideServer-for-Linux is a fork of AltLinux that allows to easily install SideStore or any sideload apps onto an iPhone, an iPad, or iPod Touch.

Direct sideloading supports iOS 12.2 and later, while SideStore supports iOS 14.0 and later.

Pylint

Alt

Features:

  • A straight-forward GUI
  • A tray menu that works just like on Windows
  • Sideloading SideStore directly
  • Sideloading apps independently of SideStore
  • While the tray icon is present, SideServer runs in the background in tethered mode for USB connections (which is only needed if you don't have access to WiFi)

If you're experiencing issues or want to help, you can join the SideStore Discord.

Installing SideServer

SideServer is available for Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 20.04.

Derivatives, such as Linux Mint and Pop!_ OS should also work. To make sure which DEB package to pick, run the following command:

python3 --version
Python 3.10 Python 3.8
Ubuntu 22.04 Ubuntu 20.04
Pop!_OS 22.04 Pop!_OS 20.04
Linux Mint 21 Linux Mint 20
elementary OS 7 elementary OS 6
Zorin OS 17 Zorin OS 16

If you're running Ubuntu 22.04 or any distro based on it (such as Mint 21), install the DEB package from here.

If you're running Ubuntu 20.04 or any distro based on it (such as Mint 20), run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/libhandy-1
sudo apt update
