flatpak cookbook

Description

Chef cookbook for managing Flatpak applications.

Notes

Currently, this cookbook only supports installing apps system-wide, and not per-user installs.

Requirements

• Chef 15.3 or higher

Platform

• CentOS 7+ (incl. Stream / Rocky / Alma)
• Amazon Linux 2
• Fedora
• Ubuntu 18.04+
• Debian 10+

Resources

• flatpak_install - Set up Flatpak
• flatpak_remote - Configure remotes
• flatpak_app - Install applications

Minimal Example

flatpak_install 'example'

flatpak_app 'org.clementine_player.Clementine'
flatpak_app 'org.mozilla.firefox'

Note: If the node is on a slow connection (e.g. < 1MB/s), the first flatpak_app install may time out and Chef will fail, as it will need to download the shared runtimes in addition to the application. If this happens, run Chef again and Flatpak will resume downloading where it left off.
