CaptureGem on Linux: desktop setup and unattended use
Table of Contents
The Linux CaptureGem desktop AppImage starts an Electron window and a recording daemon. Use a graphical session for the normal app workflow. A separate supported option on Linux x86_64 is to extract the bundled recorderd and matching tools from the CaptureGem AppImage and run the daemon without the desktop. Follow the official standalone Linux guide for exact binaries, commands, API behavior, and a per-user systemd service.
Set up an unattended desktop session
- Run the current Linux package in a graphical user session and add your models.
- For models you want saved automatically, choose Record Always or Record With Expiry with Modify Auto Record (a Premium feature). Monitor Always watches without saving a finished video.
- Keep the session active and prevent system sleep during recording.
- Choose recording and temporary folders with enough free space. Recheck the app after restarts and leave incomplete source data in place for recovery.
Use standalone recorderd on a private Linux machine
Use binaries from the same release and confirm local operation before enabling the user service. The standalone daemon’s HTTP and proxy ports have no authentication and listen on network interfaces, so block untrusted inbound access before starting it. The official guide documents local API control and service setup. See file locations and troubleshooting for the desktop workflow.
