[Linux] create a flatpak on Flathub

Open skierpage opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I've never run an AppImage and don't know how to sandbox one with firejail or bubble wrap.

You can probably copy most of the setup from PCSX2's code at https://github.com/flathub/net.pcsx2.PCSX2 , Flathub will even build it for you.

Sounds like this is something that can be done by a third party anyway, since there's no hard requirement for the main app to support flatpak? Anyone could do it that is. Feel free to submit a pull request to them to add the module?

That is even easier than flatpack you sugested

  1. download PCSX-Redux for linux to e.g. /home/test directory

  2. open terminal and ~/home$ cd /test

  3. unzip file ~/test$ unzip PCSX-Redux-5cfaabe8-linux-x86_64.zip

  4. make AppImage file executable ~/test$ chmod +x PCSX-Redux-HEAD-x86_64.AppImage

  5. run emulator with firejail ~/test$ firejail --noprofile ./PCSX-Redux-HEAD-x86_64.AppImage

Thats all. Regards.

Thanks for the firejail tip :+1:, it should be in the docs. Alas the AppImage crashes for me, issue #714.
