Flatpak

A Flatpak manifest lives at packaging/flatpak/dev.linux_ai.app.yml.

App ID

Flatpak application IDs cannot contain hyphens, so the id is dev.linux_ai.app — the underscore-normalized form of the app's identifier dev.linux-ai.app.

Build & install locally

The manifest repacks the Tauri .deb, so build that first:

cd desktop
npm run tauri build -- --bundles deb
# copy/symlink the built deb next to the manifest as linux-ai.deb
cp src-tauri/target/release/bundle/deb/*.deb \
  ../packaging/flatpak/linux-ai.deb

Then build and install with flatpak-builder:

cd packaging/flatpak
flatpak install -y flathub org.gnome.Platform//47 org.gnome.Sdk//47
flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean build-dir dev.linux_ai.app.yml
flatpak run dev.linux_ai.app

Permissions & computer access

The manifest grants --filesystem=host, microphone access, network, and the Secret Service (org.freedesktop.secrets) for keyring storage. This is deliberately broad because the app's built-in tools act on your machine. To sandbox it, remove --filesystem=host (the tools will then only see the app's own data directory) and re-build.

Flathub

The repacked-.deb manifest is meant for self-distribution. A Flathub submission requires building from source with vendored Cargo/npm sources; that manifest is not yet provided.
