Flathub is "the Linux app store" which includes a lot of applications available on Linux. The current installation methods might be good, but Flathub is popular, intergrated within most package managers and make distributing an app on all Linux distros easy!

You mean publishing the api? Or the frontend and api? Or the desktop app only?

I guess if we do flatpack, we also need to do snap.

Electron Builder (that's the tool we're using to build the desktop app) has a section about Flatpack which we could build upon.

It should be published via the CI, not uploaded manually.

Hello @lpyparmentier! I'm trying to clone your repository (git clone ssh://git@gitlab.parmentier.io:24/lparmentier/flatpak-vikunja.git) but I get this:
Cloning into 'flatpak-vikunja'...
git@gitlab.parmentier.io: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
What should I do?

I downloaded it as .tar.gz.

Edit: I kept the second one

You'll have to write a comment here saying you are giving me permission to PR this myself to Flathub too.

Actually, do you want to PR this yourself?

Looks great! Can you PR this to https://kolaente.dev/vikunja/desktop?

konrad commented

2023-07-10 16:17:53 +00:00

I'll look into how we can get this on flathub

konrad commented

2023-07-10 16:21:45 +00:00

okay, looks like this is only submitting a PR to their repo with the manifest? I thought we'd need to push a built Flatpack image to their site or something.

I'll do a PR on Flathub.

Now I need to make the .yml which will update the version and hash automatically, right? Or will you do it manually with each release?

You mean the CI config? Not quite sure how to automate that, but afaik it's only a push to a git repo? That should go into the CI, yes.

Let's wait until we have the git repo.

Do you want to continue the Flathub PR? Looks like there's more work to be done and I don't really know anything about Flatpack.
