<para>Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To enable Flatpak, add the following to your <filename>configuration.nix</filename>:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.flatpak.enable"/> = true;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
For the sandboxed apps to work correctly, desktop integration portals need to be installed. If you run GNOME, this will be handled automatically for you; in other cases, you will need to add something like the following to your <filename>configuration.nix</filename>:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.flatpak.extraPortals"/> = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ];
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Then, you will need to add a repository, for example, <link xlink:href="https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki">Flathub</link>, either using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
|
|
flatpak update
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
or by opening the <link xlink:href="https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo">repository file</link> in GNOME Software.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Finally, you can search and install programs:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
flatpak search bustle
|
|
flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Bustle
|
|
flatpak run org.freedesktop.Bustle
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
Again, GNOME Software offers graphical interface for these tasks.
