[SOLVED] Flatpak with --user flag

#1 Post by Wheelerof4te »

Are there any security implications with installing flatpak applications in my /home using --user flag instead of default system?
How do you do it? I have much more space on my /home partition, so I want to save space on root.
OS: Debian 9 GNOME

There shouldn't any implications, the app should still run in its own flatpak runtime environment. Just in your home directory.

AFAIK you just run --user just after flakpak. e.g.

Code: Select all

flatpak --user remote-add name location

Code: Select all

flatpak --user install name location
Then you should be able to just run the application.

Code: Select all

flatpak run application
