Needed rework of my script to generate the Appimage

Improved AppImage Build Process for Better Compatibility
The previous AppImage was built on a rolling-release distribution (Arch Linux), which caused compatibility issues for users on stable distributions with older package versions. This meant they couldn't run the AppImage unless they built it themselves—something I admittedly should have tested on other distributions. Lesson learned.

What's Changed
To ensure broader compatibility across distributions, we've introduced a new build process:

Docker-Based Build: The AppImage is now built inside a Docker container, which the script sets up and cleans up automatically.
Clean Builds Every Time: The script runs in no-cache mode, ensuring a fresh build with every execution.
Mac Compatibility: The script should theoretically work on macOS as well, which is useful since Andrew plans to build it locally. The free plan of Docker should be sufficient, possibly without requiring an account.
Detailed Documentation: A comprehensive README is included to guide users through the process.
This update should provide a more reliable and consistent AppImage experience across different Linux distributions.

Let me know if you have any questions! 🚀

This is good! Is there a way to do it for Windows and present a Unified Script? The builds take really long and if containers can solve for all OS then building in cloud over a script would be amazing. More of a CI/CD Process. When a new version tagged, CI/CD trigger and build on cloud instance -> dump to S3(or any storage). Would save a lot of time tbh!

There is no reason to adapt it to Windows the Binaries are already available in the Beta Releases
all my script does is to pack the prebuild Folder into a Single binary for Linux Andrew can just offer a single Binary instead of a folder

Thanks for this, this is great.
Is there a reason to rename to void-...? I have some other scripts that use this file so would ideally keep it vscode, is this used anywhere in the script you added?
