Flatpak

By default flatpaks are provided and can be installed by the internal flathub caching mirror flatpak.psi.ch. This server is configured as the default flatpak remote on the (graphical) systems. If you need to add other remotes, you can do so by providing the configuration as described in the next chapter and then referencing that in the list of remotes to be available on the system.

Repositories / Remotes

Flatpak Repository Definition

An individual flatpak remote is configured in Hiera within the namespace flatpak::repo::*, like following example:

flatpak::repo::flathub: |
  [Flatpak Repo]
  Title=Flathub
  Url=https://flathub.psi.ch/repo/
  Homepage=https://flathub.org/
  Comment=Central repository of Flatpak applications (PSI CachingMirror)
  Description=Central repository of Flatpak applications (PSI CachingMirror)
  Icon=https://flathub.psi.ch/repo/logo.svg
  GPGKey=mQINBFl...

The content is a single string in the .flatpakrepo format.

Usually the Flatpak repository will provide such a file.

Flatpak Repository List

All flatpak remotes that need to be available on the system need to be listed in Hiera list flatpak::repos::default.

You can add other repositories than the default flathub remote by providing a configuration as shown in the chapter above and then referencing that remote like this:

rpm_repos::default:
    - 'cpt'

DMZ

If you need to install flatpaks on a system that is in the DMZ the default repository flathub need to be reconfigured as follows:

flatpak::repo::flathub: |
  [Flatpak Repo]
  Title=Flathub
  Url=https://flathub-dmz.psi.ch/repo/
  Homepage=https://flathub.org/
