flatpak-remote-add (1) Linux Manual Page

Unless overridden with the –user or –installation options, this command changes the default system-wide installation.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

-h, –help

Show help options and exit.

–from

Assume the URI is a .flatpakrepo file rather than the repository itself. This is enabled by default if the extension is .flatpakrepo, so generally you don’t need this option.

–user

Modify the per-user configuration.

–system

Modify the default system-wide configuration.

–installation=NAME

Modify a system-wide installation specified by NAME among those defined in /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using –installation=default is equivalent to using –system.

–no-gpg-verify

Disable GPG verification for the added remote.

–prio=PRIO

Set the priority for the remote. Default is 1, higher is more prioritized. This is mainly used for graphical installation tools.

–no-enumerate

Mark the remote as not enumerated. This means the remote will not be used to list applications, for instance in graphical installation tools.

–no-use-for-deps

Mark the remote as not to be used for automatic runtime dependency resolution.

–if-not-exists

Do nothing if the provided remote already exists.

–disable

Disable the added remote.

–title=TITLE

A title for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.

–comment=COMMENT

A single-line comment for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.

–description=DESCRIPTION

A full-paragraph description for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.

–homepage=URL

URL for a website for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.

–icon=URL

URL for an icon for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.

–default-branch=BRANCH

A default branch for the remote, mainly for use in a UI.

–filter=PATH

Add a local filter to the remote. A filter file is a list of lines, each file starting with "allow" or "deny", and then a glob for the ref to allow or disallow. The globs specify a partial ref (i.e. you can leave out trailing parts which will then match everything), but otherwise only "*" is special, matching anything in that part of the ref.

By default all refs are allowed, but if a ref matches a deny rule it is disallowed unless it specifically matches an allow rule. This means you can use this to implement both whitelisting and blacklisting.

Here is an example filter file:

# This is a whitelist style filter as it denies all first
deny *
allow runtime/org.freedesktop.*
allow org.some.app/arm
allow org.signal.Signal/*/stable
allow org.signal.Signal.*/*/stable

–gpg-import=FILE

Import gpg keys from the specified keyring file as trusted for the new remote. If the file is – the keyring is read from standard input.

–authenticator-name=NAME

Specify the authenticator to use for the remote.

–authenticator-option=KEY=VALUE

Specify an authenticator option for the remote.

–authenticator-install

Enable auto-installation of authenticator.

–no-authenticator-install

Disable auto-installation of authenticator.

-v, –verbose

Print debug information during command processing.

–ostree-verbose

Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
