Publish sonixd as a flatpak

[ilya-zlobintsev]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be nice if there was an option to install sonixd as a flatpak.

Describe alternatives you've considered I know an AppImage is already provided as a universal linux package, but I find it not as convenient as flatpaks for updates and desktop integration (e.g. i have to manually make a desktop icon for it)

Additional context There's a guide with a template for packaging electron apps: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/electron.html

I'll look into it (though I may push that back to 1.0.0). I'm assuming I would also need to publish the package to Flathub for the updates to work?

That is correct.

I'm going to assume this is probably coming out in v1, but I did want to share a little work I did to try and get Sonixd (v0.15.2) to work on Flatpak: https://github.com/kgarner7/sonixd-flatpak-demo. It doesn't have OBS (I've never used it, and am unfamiliar with the integration), but does have Discord RPC (assuming Discord is also Flatpak). Hopefully this helps somewhat (and I'd be happy to discuss more/help as v1 gets closer)
